We study binary error-correcting and error-detecting codes suitable for use on a completely asymmetric or Z channel. This channel accepts inputs of 0 and 1 and reproduces these faithfully as outputs, except that occasionally ...

A family of polytopes in E$\sp{d}$ is called nearly neighborly if, for every two members of the family, there is a hyperplane which separates them and contains a facet of each. Such a family is called neighborly if every ...
