摘要
The study of a class of optimal constant weight codes over arbitrary alphabets was initiated by Etzion, who showed that such codes are equivalent to special GDDs known as generalized Steiner systems GS(t,k,n,g) Etzion. This paper presents new constructions for these systems in the case t=2, k=3. In particular, these constructions imply that the obvious necessary conditions on the length n of the code for the existence of an optimal weight 3, distance 3 code over an alphabet of arbitrary size are asymptotically sufficient.
