Abstract

It is shown that every optimal binary code with covering radius R=1 is normal. This (parity) proves a conjecture of Cohen, Lobstein, and Sloane (1986). It is also proved that codes with minimal distance 2R or 2R+1 are normal. A generalization of Frankl's construction (1987) of abnormal codes is given.
