Cumulative Distance Enumerators of Random Codes and their Thresholds

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Cumulative weight enumerators of random linear codes are introduced, their asymptotic properties are studied, and very sharp thresholds are exhibited; as a consequence, it is shown that the asymptotic Gilbert-Varshamov bound is a very sharp threshold point for the density of the linear codes whose relative distance is greater than a given positive number. For arbitrary random codes, similar settings and results are exhibited; in particular, the very sharp threshold point for the density of the codes whose relative distance is greater than a given positive number is located at half the asymptotic Gilbert-Varshamov bound.
