Abstract

top
It is well known that there exist some types of the most frequent errors made by human operators during transmission of data which it is possible to detect using a code with one check symbol. We prove that there does not exist an n -T-code that can detect all single, adjacent transposition, jump transposition, twin, jump twin and phonetic errors over an alphabet that contains 0 and 1. Systems that detect all single, adjacent transposition, jump transposition, twin, jump twin errors and almost all phonetic errors of the form a 0 1 a , a 0 , a 1 over alphabets of different, and minimal size, are constructed. We study some connections between the properties of anti-commutativity and parastroph orthogonality of T-quasigroups. We also list possible errors of some types (jump transposition, twin error, jump twin error and phonetic error) that the system of the serial numbers of German banknotes cannot detect.
