Abstract

The sphere bound is a trivial lower bound on K(n,R), the minimal cardinality of any binary code of length n and with covering radius R. By simple arguments it is considerably improved, to K(n,1)&ges;2 n/n for n even. A table of lower and upper bounds on K(n,R) for n&les;33, R &les;10 is included
