Abstract:
In this paper, we discussed binary fuzzy codes over a vector space
F_2^n\;
by relating classical codes with the probability of a binary symmetric channel (BSC) for receiving a sent codeword correctly. We used the weight of error patterns between a received word and the possible sent codewords to define fuzzy words over
n
-dimensional vector space
F_2^n
, and used it to define binary fuzzy codes. We also added some properties of Hamming distance of binary fuzzy codes, and the bounds of a Hamming distance of binary fuzzy codes for
p=1/r
, where
r\geqslant 3
, and
r\in \mathbbZ^+
, are determined. Finding Hamming distance of binary fuzzy codes is used for decoding sent messages on a BSC.
