Abstract

Error-correcting codes with both binary and ternary coordinates are considered. The maximum cardinality of such a code with n 2 binary coordinates, n 3 ternary coordinates, and minimum distance d is denoted by N(n 2,n 3,d) . A computer-aided method based on backtrack search and isomorph rejection is here used to settle many values of N(n 2,n 3,3) ; several new upper bounds on this function are also obtained. For small parameters, a complete classification of optimal codes is carried out. It is shown that the maximum cardinality of a ternary one-error-correcting code of length 6 is 38 and that this code is unique.
