In coding theory, the Wozencraft ensemble is a set of linear codes in which most of codes satisfy the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. It is named after John Wozencraft, who proved its existence. The ensemble is described by , who attributes it to Wozencraft. used the Wozencraft ensemble as the inner codes in his construction of strongly explicit asymptotically good code. ==Existence theorem== Theorem: Let > 0. For a large enough , there exists an ensemble of inner codes of rate , where , such that for at least values of i, has relative distance . Here relative distance is the ratio of minimum distance to block length. And is the q-ary entropy function defined as follows: . In fact, to show the existence of this set of linear codes, we will specify this ensemble explicitly as follows: for , the inner code , is defined as . Here we can notice that and . We can do the multiplication since is isomorphic to . This ensemble is due to Wozencraft and is called the Wozencraft ensemble. For any x and y in , we have the following facts: # # For any , So is a linear code for every . Now we know that Wozencraft ensemble contains linear codes with rate . In the following proof, we will show that there are at least those linear codes having the relative distance , i.e. they meet the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. 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「Wozencraft ensemble」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
