Optimal coverings of lattices associated with a
given n-cube by Hamming spheres of radius one
are studied where certain constraints are taken
into consideration. These investigations also
yield results about packings of the n-cube by
rectangular simplices whose vertices should
cover the vertex set of the n-cube.
