Everything about Singleton bound

Upper bound in coding theory

In coding theory, the Singleton bound, named after the American mathematician Richard Collom Singleton (1928–2007), is a relatively crude upper bound on the size of an arbitrary block code with block length, size and minimum distance. It is also known as the Joshibound proved by Joshi (1958) and even earlier by Komamiya. Wikipedia →
