Abstract :
The initial vector problem is considered for group codes for the Gaussian channel and, in particular, for codes generated by permutation groups. Variant I and variant II permutation codes are defined, and optimal initial vectors for these codes are constructed. A numerical algorithm for constructing optimal group codes is presented together with examples of this algorithm applied to several permutation groups
