We propose and develop some methods which allow us to obtain new small $(1,\\mu)$-saturating sets and short $(2,\\mu)$-MCF codes with $\\mu$-density either equal to 1 (optimal saturating sets and almost perfect MCF-codes) or close to 1 (roughly $1+1/cq$, $c\\ge1$). In particular, we provide new algebraic constructions and some bounds. Also, we classify minimal and optimal $(1,\\mu)$-saturating sets in $PG(2,q)$, $q$ small.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-06-01T08:44:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "multiple coverings", "farthest-off points", "mcf codes", "algebraic constructions", "perfect mcf-codes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150600392B" } } }
