  • Abstract
    The main lines of a partial proof of the "perfect code theorem" are presented. The relevant part refers to the nonexistence of unknown t -perfect codes over arbitrary alphabets for t \\not \\in {1, 2, 6, 8} . The details of the proof can be found in the author\´s Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Amsterdam.
