Maximum distance holey packings and related codes. (English) Zbl 0944.05018

Summary: The notion of a maximum distance holey packing is introduced and used to construct optimal ternary \((n,3,3)\) codes for all lengths \(n\equiv 2\pmod 3\) and \(n\geq 8\). Combining this with T. Etzion’s result in [Discrete Math. 169, No. 1-3, 55-82 (1997)], the existence problem for an optimal ternary \((n,3,3)\) code is solved completely.
