Abstract :
The concept of multicovering radius was introduced by A. Klapper (see IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, vol.43, p.1372-7, 1997) in the context of studying the security of stream ciphers. The purpose of this paper is to derive new bounds by relating the multicovering radii of a code to a relative notion of covering radius. For generality, we define this notion for multicovering radii, although we only use the ordinary covering radius version
