Optimal Constant-Weight Codes under l_1-Metric
share
Motivated by the duplication-correcting problem for data storage in live DNA, we study the construction of constant-weight codes in l_1-metric. By combinatorial methods, we give constructions of optimal ternary codes with l_1-weight w≤ 4 for all possible distances. In general, we determine the maximum size of ternary codes with constant weight w and distance 2w-2 for sufficiently large length under certain conditions.
