Finding the largest code with a given minimum distance is one of the most basic problems in coding theory. A sharpening to the linear programming bound for linear codes in the Lee metric is introduced, which is based on an invariance-type property of Lee compositions of a linear code. Using this property, additional equality constraints are introduced into the linear programming problem, which give a tighter bound for linear Lee codes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
