摘要
Generalized Steiner systems GS(2. k, v. g) were first introduced by Etzion and used to construct optimal constant weight codes over an alphabet of size g + I with minimum Hamming distance 2k - 3, in which each codeword has length v and weight k. As to the existence of a GS(2. k, v. g), a lot of work has been done for k = 3, while not so much is known for k = 4. The notion k-*GDD was first introduced by Chen et al and used to construct GS(2. 3, v. 6) The necessary condition for the existence of a 4-*GDD(6 '') is v >= 14. In this paper, it is proved that there exists a 4-*GDD(6 '') for any prime power v equivalent to 15, 7 (mod 8) and v >= 19. By using this result, the known results on the existence of optimal quaternary constant weight codes are then extended. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
