The Nonexistence of [132, 6, 86]3 Codes and [135, 6, 88]3 Codes

Abstract

We prove the nonexistence of [g3(6, d), 6, d]3 codes for d = 86, 87, 88, where g3(k, d) = ∑⌈d/3i⌉ and i=0 ... k−1. This determines n3(6, d) for d = 86, 87, 88, where nq(k, d) is the minimum length n for which an [n, k, d]q code exists.
