摘要
We study lower bounds on K (n, R), the minimum number of codewords of any binary code of length n such that the Hamming spheres of radius R with center at codewords cover the Hamming space double-struck F signn2. We generalize Honkala's idea to obtain further improvements only by using some simple observations of Zhang's result. This leads to nineteen improvements of the lower bound on K(n, R) within the range of 1 ≤ n ≤ 33, 1 ≤ R ≤ 10.
