In coding theory, the bound of parameters such as rate ''R'', relative distance, block length, etc. is usually concerned. Here Gilbert–Varshamov bound theorem claims the lower bound of the rate of the general code. Gilbert–Varshamov bound is the best in term of relative distance for codes over alphabets of size less than 49. ==Gilbert–Varshamov bound theorem== Theorem: Let . For every , and , there exists a code with rate , and relative distance . Here is the ''q''-ary entropy function defined as follows: : The above result was proved by Edgar Gilbert for general code using the greedy method as here. For linear code, Rom Varshamov proved using the probabilistic method for the random linear code. This proof will be shown in the following part. ''High-level proof:'' To show the existence of the linear code that satisfies those constraints, the probabilistic method is used to construct the random linear code. Specifically the linear code is chosen randomly by choosing the random generator matrix in which the element is chosen uniformly over the field . Also the Hamming distance of the linear code is equal to the minimum weight of the codeword. So to prove that the linear code generated by has Hamming distance , we will show that for any . To prove that, we prove the opposite one; that is, the probability that the linear code generated by has the Hamming distance less than is exponentially small in . Then by probabilistic method, there exists the linear code satisfying the theorem. ''Formal proof:'' By using the probabilistic method, to show that there exists a linear code that has a Hamming distance greater than , we will show that the probability that the random linear code having the distance less than is exponentially small in . We know that the linear code is defined using the generator matrix. So we use the "random generator matrix" as a mean to describe the randomness of the linear code. So a random generator matrix of size contains elements which are chosen independently and uniformly over the field . Recall that in a linear code, the distance = the minimum weight of the non-zero codeword. This fact is one of the properties of linear code. Denote be the weight of the codeword . So : Also if codeword belongs to a linear code generated by , then for some vector . Therefore 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「GV-linear-code」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
