This monograph provides a comprehensive exploration of perfect codes and related structures within coding theory. It delves into the mathematical properties of these codes, including their largest possible size and their behavior in various metrics. The book covers a wide range of topics, such as diameter perfect codes, quasi-perfect codes, and combinatorial designs, offering a diverse perspective on the field. By presenting new constructions and deriving bounds on code sizes, the book contributes to ongoing research in coding theory and provides valuable insights for both researchers and students.
