Abstract

Let Fn be the binary n-cube, or binary Hamming space of dimension n, endowed with the Hamming distance. For r ≥ 1 and x ∈ Fn, we denote by Br (x) the ball of radius r and centre x. A set C ⊆ Fn is said to be an r-identifying code if the sets Br (x) ∩ C, x ∈ Fn, are all nonempty and distinct. We give new constructive upper bounds for the minimum cardinalities of r-identifying codes in the Hamming space.
