The Three Trivial Perfect Codes












0














On Coding Theory, there's three trivial perfect codes.



They are:




  • Binary codes of odd length

  • Codes with contains only one codeword

  • Codes that are the whole $A^n_q$


So, the $A^n_q$ case, considering the definition that says "A perfect code is a code such $A_q^n$ is the disjoint union of balls of some fixed radius centered on the codewords" is trivial by taking the radius to be 0.



But the other two cases I can't see why. Any hints to demonstrate that?
(Could it be that codes with one codeword are analogue to the $A_q^n$ case? Taking the radius to be n or M=|C|)

  • For the second case, yes, just take your radius to be suitably large, and you're done. For the first, this should help.
