Abstract

The minimal cardinality of a q-ary code of length n and covering radius at most R is denoted by Kq(n, R); if we have the additional requirement that the minimum distance be at least d, it is denoted by Kq(n, R, d). Obviously, Kq(n, R, d) 驴 Kq(n, R). In this paper, we study instances for which Kq(n,1,2) Kq(n, 1) and, in particular, determine K4(4,1,2)=28 24=K4(4,1).
