Title
On the Error Detection Capability of One Check Digit
Abstract
In this paper, we study a check digit system which is based on the use of elementary abelian $p$-groups of order $p^{k}$ . This paper is inspired by a recently introduced check digit system for hexadecimal numbers. By interpreting its check equation in terminology of matrix algebra, we generalize the idea to build systems over a group of order $p^{k}$, while keeping the ability to detect all the: 1) single errors; 2) adjacent transpositions; 3) twin errors; 4) jump transpositions; and 5) jump twin errors. Besides, we consider two categories of jump errors: 1) $t$-jump transpositions and 2) $t$-jump twin errors, which include and further extend the double error types of 2)–5). In particular, we explore $R_{c}$, the maximum detection radius of the system on detecting these two kinds of generalized jump errors, and show that it is $2^{k}-2$ for $p=2$ and $(p^{k}-1)/2-1$ for an odd prime $p$. Also, we show how to build such a system that detects all the single errors and these two kinds of double jump-errors within $R_{c}$ .
