    Arithmetic completely regular codes

    Full text link
    In this paper, we explore completely regular codes in the Hamming graphs and related graphs. Experimental evidence suggests that many completely regular codes have the property that the eigenvalues of the code are in arithmetic progression. In order to better understand these "arithmetic completely regular codes", we focus on cartesian products of completely regular codes and products of their corresponding coset graphs in the additive case. Employing earlier results, we are then able to prove a theorem which nearly classifies these codes in the case where the graph admits a completely regular partition into such codes (e.g, the cosets of some additive completely regular code). Connections to the theory of distance-regular graphs are explored and several open questions are posed.Comment: 26 pages, 1 figur

    The Dynamics of Group Codes: Dual Abelian Group Codes and Systems

    Full text link
    Fundamental results concerning the dynamics of abelian group codes (behaviors) and their duals are developed. Duals of sequence spaces over locally compact abelian groups may be defined via Pontryagin duality; dual group codes are orthogonal subgroups of dual sequence spaces. The dual of a complete code or system is finite, and the dual of a Laurent code or system is (anti-)Laurent. If C and C^\perp are dual codes, then the state spaces of C act as the character groups of the state spaces of C^\perp. The controllability properties of C are the observability properties of C^\perp. In particular, C is (strongly) controllable if and only if C^\perp is (strongly) observable, and the controller memory of C is the observer memory of C^\perp. The controller granules of C act as the character groups of the observer granules of C^\perp. Examples of minimal observer-form encoder and syndrome-former constructions are given. Finally, every observer granule of C is an "end-around" controller granule of C.Comment: 30 pages, 11 figures. To appear in IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 200

    Blind identification of an unknown interleaved convolutional code

    Full text link
    We give here an efficient method to reconstruct the block interleaver and recover the convolutional code when several noisy interleaved codewords are given. We reconstruct the block interleaver without assumption on its structure. By running some experimental tests we show the efficiency of this method even with moderate noise
