Abstract

We propose new combinatorial constructions of partitions into perfect codes in both the Hamming and Lee metrics. Also, we present a new combinatorial construction method for diameter perfect codes in the Lee metric, which is further developed to a construction of partitions into such codes. For the Lee metric, we improve previously known lower bounds on the number of perfect and diameter perfect codes proposed by Etzion in 2011.
