Decompositions of Edge-Colored Digraphs: A New Technique in the Construction of Constant-Weight Codes and Related Families
We demonstrate that certain Johnson-type bounds are asymptotically exact for a variety of classes of codes, namely, constant-composition codes, nonbinary constant-weight codes and multiply constant-weight codes. This was achieved via an interesting application of the theory of decomposition of edge-colored digraphs.
