New Results on Asymmetric Single Correcting Codes of Magnitude Four

An error model with asymmetric single error with magnitude four is considered. In this paper, the constructions of codes correcting single error of magnitude four over $\mathbb {Z}_{2^{{a}}3^{{b}}{r}}$ are studied which is equivalent to construct $B_{1}[{4}](2^{{a}}3^{{b}}{r})$ sets. Firstly, we reduce the construction of a maximal size ${B}_{1}[{4}](2^{{a}}3^{{b}}{r})$ set for ${a}\geq 4$ and $ \gcd ({r},6)=1$ to the construction of a maximal size ${B}_{1}[{4}](2^{{a}-3}3^{{b}}{r})$ set. Furthermore, we will show that maximal size ${B}_{1}[{4}](8\cdot 3^{{b}}{r})$ sets can be reduced to maximal size ${B}_{1}[{4}](3^{{b}}{r})$ sets and also give lower bounds of maximal size ${B}_{1}[{4}](12{r})$ and ${B}_{1}[{4}](2\cdot 3^{{b}}{r})$ sets. Finally, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on the existence of perfect ${B}_{1}[{4}]({p})$ set for prime $p$ .
