Abstract

A brief introduction is given on the theory of codes correcting unidirectional errors, in the context of symmetric and asymmetric error-correcting codes. Upper bounds on the size of a code of length n correcting t or fewer unidirectional errors are then derived. Methods in which codes correcting up to t unidirectional errors are constructed by expurgating t-fold asymmetric error-correcting codes or by expurgating and puncturing t-fold symmetric error-correcting codes are also presented. Finally, tables summarizing some results on the size of optimal unidirectional error-correcting codes which follow from these bounds and constructions are given.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
