Does a code with length 6, size 32 and distance 2 exist?












3












$begingroup$


The problem is to prove or disprove the existence of $C$, s.t., $|c| = 6,forall cin C$; $|C| = 32$; $d(c_i,c_j)geq2,1leq i<jleq32$. ($d$ stands for hamming distance)



I tried to construct a satisfying code. The best I can get is to let $C = C'times C'$, a concatenation of $C' = {000,011,110,101}$, which is of size 16. 32 happens to be the theoretical upper bound of the size, now I don't know what to do next so as to solve the problem.

          Yes, there is such a set. You are actually on the right track to find the following example.

          • $d(u,v)geq2$ for all $u,vin C$, $unot=v$. (In fact, $d(u,v)=2$ or 4.)



          Here are two related exercise.



          Exercise 1. Give another example of a set of 32 words of length 6 and pairwise distance at least 2.



          Exercise 2. Show that there are only two such sets, as given in the answer and in the exercise 1.



          Exercise 3. Generalize the above to words of any given length.

            All words of even parity from a linear code with $2^{n-1}$ codewords and minimum distance $2$.



            More generally, if $A_2(n,d)$ is the maximum size of a code of length $n$ and minimum distance $d$, then $A_2(n,2d) = A_2(n-1,2d-1)$.

                    Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

                    Image
                    6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w
