Block Codes on Pomset Metric

Given a regular multiset $M$ on $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, a partial order $R$ on $M$, and a label map $\pi : [n] \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ defined by $\pi(i) = k_i$ with $\sum_{i=1}^{n}\pi (i) = N$, we define a pomset block metric $d_{(Pm,\pi)}$ on the direct sum $ \mathbb{Z}_{m}^{k_1} \oplus \mathbb{Z}_{m}^{k_2} \oplus \ldots \oplus \mathbb{Z}_{m}^{k_n}$ of $\mathbb{Z}_{m}^{N}$ based on the pomset $\mathbb{P}=(M,R)$. This pomset block metric $d_{(Pm,\pi)}$ extends the classical pomset metric which accommodate Lee metric introduced by I. G. Sudha and R. S. Selvaraj, in particular, and generalizes the poset block metric introduced by M. M. S. Alves et al, in general, over $\mathbb{Z}_m$. We find $I$-perfect pomset block codes for both ideals with partial and full counts. Further, we determine the complete weight distribution for $(P,\pi)$-space, thereby obtaining it for $(P,w)$-space, and pomset space, over $\mathbb{Z}_m$. For chain pomset, packing radius and Singleton type bound are established for block codes, and the relation of MDS codes with $I$-perfect codes is investigated. Moreover, we also determine the duality theorem of an MDS $(P,\pi)$-code when all the blocks have the same length.
