Abstract
We study the size (or volume) of balls in the metric space of permutations, $S_{n}$ , under the infinity metric. We focus on the regime of balls with radius $r = \rho \cdot (n\!-\!1)$ , $\rho \in [{0,1}]$ , i.e., a radius that is a constant fraction of the maximum possible distance. We provide new lower bounds on the size of such balls. These new lower bounds reduce the asymptotic gap to the known upper bounds to at most 0.029 bits per symbol. Additionally, they imply an improved ball-packing bound for error-correcting codes, and an improved upper bound on the size of optimal covering codes.
