Abstract(in English) For a code C over GF(2), the radius and covering radius of C are useful metric properties of C and play important roles in the analysis of C.In general, the decision problem for the radius and covering radius of C is computationally hard.Indeed, the decision problem for the covering radius of linear codes over GF(2)is Il^p_<2->complete and the decision problems for the radius and covering radius of nonlinear general (not necessarily linear)codes over GF(2)is NP-complete. In this paper, we first formalize those decision problems for the radius and covering radius of codes over GF(2)as minimization problems, i.e., MINIMUM RADIUS and MINIMUM COVERING RADIUS of codes over GF(2), respectively.Then we show that MINIMUM RADIUS and MINIMUM COVERING RADIUS of codes over GF(2)are hard to approximate within any constant ratio unless P=NP.
