Neumaier, A., Completely regular codes, Discrete Mathematics 106/107 (1992) 353-360 Completely regular codes are a large class of codes which share many of the most interesting properties of perfect codes. This paper shows that the basic theory-including Lloyd's theorem+an be obtained very elegantly

✦ Synopsis
A binary code C is said to be completely regular if the weight distribution of any translate x + C depends only on the distance of x to C.
Such codes are related to designs and distance regular graphs. Their covering radius is equal to their external distance. All perfect and uniformly packed codes are known to be completely regular.
We construct new examples of a different kind, including the nonlinear extended Preparata and Goethals codes. Three constructions are given: direct sum, extension, and action of the automorphism group of the code. We introduce the class of completely transitive codes which seems to be strictly contained in the class of completely regular codes. A sufficient condition for complete transitivity is given.

A code in a graph is a non-empty subset C of the vertex set V of . Given C, the partition of V according to the distance of the vertices away from C is called the distance partition of C. A completely regular code is a code whose distance partition has a certain regularity property. A special class
Courteau, B. and A. Montpetit, Dual distances of completely regular codes, Discrete Mathematics 89 (1991) 7-15. In this paper we prove two theorems giving arithmetical constraints on the possible values of dual distances of completely regular codes extending some recent results of Calderbank and Gce
We show that puncturing a completely regular even binary code produces a completely regular code again, thus answering a question posed in Brouwer et al. [3], p. 357.
We study a class of t-designs which enjoy a high degree of regularity. These are the subsets of vertices of the Johnson graph which are completely regular, in the sense of Delsarte [Philips Res. Reports Suppl. 10 (1973)]. After setting up the basic theory, we describe the known completely regular de
