Abstract

Several new results on binary (d,k) codes are given. First, a new derivation for the capacity of these codes based upon information theoretic principles is given. Based upon this result the spectrum of a (d,k) code is computed. Finally, the problem of computing the capacity of the binary symmetric channel under the condition that the input sequences satisfy the (d,k) constraint is considered. Lower bounds on the capacity of such a channel are derived.
