We denote by V (n, q) the set of all n-tuples from a q-symbol alphabetF (Le. V (n, q)= lFn). If q is a prime power we take IF= IF q and interpret V (n, q) as n-dimensional vector space over IF• In q any case we distinguish an element of IF and denote it by O. The elements of V (n, q) are called words (or vectors) and are denoted by underlined symbols. The word (0, 0,•••, 0) is denoted by£. The (Hamming) distance d (~, Z) of two words~ and Z is defined by d (~, Z):=+ r {i I lsi sn, xi~ Yi}•The weight w (~) of the word~ is d (~,£). A subset C of V (n, q) is called a code. We say that C is e-error-correcting if d (~, Z)~ 2e+ 1 for all pairs~ E C, Z E C, with~~ Z. The minimum distance of C, defined by d:.. min {d (~, z) I~€ c, Z€ C,~"'Z} determines the error correcting capability e:= Ld; l J of the code. The set Se (~):={Z€ V (n, q) I d (~, Z) se} is called the sphere of radius e around~. If the set of spheres Se (~)'where~ runs through C, forms a partition of V (n, q) then C is called a
