On full-rank perfect codes over finite fields
Abstract:
We propose a construction of full-rank $q$-ary 1-perfect codes over finite fields. This is a generalization of the construction of full-rank binary 1-perfect codes by Etzion and Vardy (1994). The properties of the $i$-components of $q$-ary Hamming codes are investigated and the construction of full-rank $q$-ary 1-perfect codes is based on these properties. The switching construction of 1-perfect codes is generalized for the $q$-ary case. We propose a generalization of the notion of $i$-component of a 1-perfect code and introduce the concept of an ($i, \sigma$)-component of $q$-ary 1-perfect codes. We also present a generalization of the Lindström–Schönheim construction of $q$-ary 1-perfect codes and provide a lower bound for the number of pairwise distinct $q$-ary 1-perfect codes of length $n$.
