On the embedding of constant-weight codes into perfect codes

Abstract:
We show that each $q$-ary constant-weight code of weight 3, minimum distance 4, and length $m$ can be embedded in a $q$-ary 1-perfect code of length $n = (q^{m−1})/(q−1)$.
Bibliogr. 10.

Keywords: Hamming code, nonlinear perfect code, constant-weight code, $i$-component.
