Universally optimal code[1] 

Description

A code that produces a minimum over all codes of its cardinality for a large family of potential functions. Such codes exist for the conventional \(q\)-ary and real spaces (see children below), but can also be formulated for more exotic spaces such as Lie groups, projective spaces, and real Grassmanians [2,3].
