A generalization of the Lee distance and error correcting codes

588--595 (2008)Zusammenfassung
In this contribution, we will define an l-dimensional Lee distance which is a generalization of the Lee distance defined only over a prime field, and we will construct 2-error correcting codes for this distance. Our l-dimensional Lee distance can be defined not only over a prime field but also over any finite field. The ordinary Lee distance is just the one-dimensional Lee distance. Also the Mannheim or modular distances introduced by Huber are special cases of our distance.
