In coding theory, the Gilbert–Varshamov bound (due to Edgar Gilbert [1] and independently Rom Varshamov [2]) is a bound on the size of a (not necessarily linear) code.It is occasionally known as the Gilbert–Shannon–Varshamov bound (or the GSV bound), but the name "Gilbert–Varshamov bound" is by far the most popular.
The Gilbert–Varshamov bound for linear codes is related to the general Gilbert–Varshamov bound, which gives a lower bound on the maximal number of elements in an error-correcting code of a given block length and minimum Hamming weight over a field. This may be translated into a statement about the maximum rate of a code with given length ...
An Improvement is done to the Gilbert-Varshamov bound already discussed above. Using the connection between permutation codes and independent sets in certain graphs one can improve the Gilbert–Varshamov bound asymptotically by a factor log ( n ) {\displaystyle \log(n)} , when the code length goes to infinity.
The first two of its ten chapters present background and introductory material, including Hamming distance, decoding methods including maximum likelihood and syndromes, sphere packing and the Hamming bound, the Singleton bound, and the Gilbert–Varshamov bound, and the Hamming(7,4) code.
These codes attracted interest in the coding theory community because they have the ability to surpass the Gilbert–Varshamov bound; at the time this was discovered, the Gilbert–Varshamov bound had not been broken in the 30 years since its discovery. [6]
[1] pp.142--143 Since the same variable symbol may appear in multiple places in an expression, some occurrences of the variable symbol may be free while others are bound, [1] p.78 hence "free" and "bound" are at first defined for occurrences and then generalized over all occurrences of said variable symbol in the expression. However it is done ...
Rom Rubenovich Varshamov (Russian Ром Рубенович Варшамов; Born April 9, 1927, in Tbilisi; Died August 24, 1999, in Moscow) was a Soviet Armenian mathematician who worked in Coding theory, especially on error-correcting codes and Number theory.
