Linear block codes are frequently denoted as [n, k, d] codes, where d refers to the code's minimum Hamming distance between any two code words. (The [n, k, d] notation should not be confused with the (n, M, d) notation used to denote a non-linear code of length n, size M (i.e., having M code words), and minimum Hamming distance d.)
The notation (,,) describes a block code over an alphabet of size , with a block length , message length , and distance . If the block code is a linear block code, then the square brackets in the notation [ n , k , d ] q {\displaystyle [n,k,d]_{q}} are used to represent that fact.
In mathematics, a block matrix or a partitioned matrix is a matrix that is interpreted as having been broken into sections called blocks or submatrices. [1] [2]Intuitively, a matrix interpreted as a block matrix can be visualized as the original matrix with a collection of horizontal and vertical lines, which break it up, or partition it, into a collection of smaller matrices.
In mathematical terms, Hamming codes are a class of binary linear code. For each integer r ≥ 2 there is a code-word with block length n = 2 r − 1 and message length k = 2 r − r − 1 .
In coding theory, Hamming(7,4) is a linear error-correcting code that encodes four bits of data into seven bits by adding three parity bits. It is a member of a larger family of Hamming codes, but the term Hamming code often refers to this specific code that Richard W. Hamming introduced in 1950.
From this construction, RM(r,m) is a binary linear block code (n, k, d) with length n = 2 m, dimension (,) = (,) + (,) and minimum distance = for . The dual code to RM( r,m ) is RM( m - r -1, m ). This shows that repetition and SPC codes are duals, biorthogonal and extended Hamming codes are duals and that codes with k = n /2 are self-dual.
The vectorization is frequently used together with the Kronecker product to express matrix multiplication as a linear transformation on matrices. In particular, vec ( A B C ) = ( C T ⊗ A ) vec ( B ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {vec} (ABC)=(C^{\mathrm {T} }\otimes A)\operatorname {vec} (B)} for matrices A , B , and C of dimensions k ...
The extended ternary Golay code is a [12, 6, 6] linear code obtained by adding a zero-sum check digit to the [11, 6, 5] code. In finite group theory , the extended ternary Golay code is sometimes referred to as the ternary Golay code.
