Asymptotically bounding the covering radius in terms of the dual distance is a well-studied problem. We will combine the polynomial approach with estimates of the distance distribu...
We recover the first linear programming bound of McEliece, Rodemich, Rumsey, and Welch for binary error-correcting codes and designs via a covering argument. It is possible to sh...
The multicovering radii of a code are recently introduced natural generalizations of the covering radius measuring the smallest radius of balls around codewords that cover all m-t...
Let k3(n) denote the minimal cardinality of a ternary code of length n and covering radius one. In this paper we show k3(7) ≥ 156 and k3(8) ≥ 402 improving on the best previou...
We initiate the study of the computational complexity of the covering radius problem for point lattices, and approximation versions of the problem for both lattices and linear cod...
