Abstract: A binary code is called a superimposed cover-free (s,ell)-code if the code is identified by the incidence matrix of a family of finite sets in which no intersection of ell sets is covered by the union of s others. A binary code is called a superimposed list-decoding sL-code if the code is identified by the incidence matrix of a family of finite sets in which the union of any s sets can cover not more than L−1 other sets of the family. For L=ell=1, both of the definitions coincide and the corresponding binary code is called a superimposed s-code. Our aim is to obtain new lower and upper bounds on the rate of given codes. The most interesting result is a lower bound on the rate of superimposed cover-free (s,ell)-code based on the ensemble of constant-weight binary codes. If parameter ellge1 is fixed and soinfty, then the ratio of this lower bound to the best known upper bound converges to the limit 2,e−2=0,271. For the classical case ell=1 and sge2, the given Statement means that our recurrent upper bound on the rate of superimposed s-codes obtained in 1982 is attained to within a constant factor a, 0,271leale1
