MinT - Best Known (173−118, 173, s)-Nets in Base 3

Best Known (173−118, 173, s)-Nets in Base 3

(173−118, 173, 48)-Net over F₃ — Constructive and digital

Digital (55, 173, 48)-net over F₃, using

t-expansion [i] based on digital (45, 173, 48)-net over F₃, using
- net from sequence [i] based on digital (45, 47)-sequence over F₃, using
  - Niederreiterâ€“Xing sequence constructionÂ II/III [i] based on function field F/F₃ with g(F) = 45 and N(F) ≥ 48, using
    - an explicitly constructive algebraic function field [i]

(173−118, 173, 64)-Net over F₃ — Digital

Digital (55, 173, 64)-net over F₃, using

t-expansion [i] based on digital (49, 173, 64)-net over F₃, using
- net from sequence [i] based on digital (49, 63)-sequence over F₃, using
  - Niederreiterâ€“Xing sequence constructionÂ II/III [i] based on function field F/F₃ with g(F) = 49 and N(F) ≥ 64, using
    - a curve from the manYPoints database [i]

(173−118, 173, 174)-Net over F₃ — Upper bound on s (digital)

There is no digital (55, 173, 175)-net over F₃, because

7 times m-reduction [i] would yield digital (55, 166, 175)-net over F₃, but
- extracting embedded orthogonal array [i] would yield linear OA(3¹⁶⁶, 175, F₃, 111) (dual of [175, 9, 112]-code), but
  - constructionÂ Y1 [i] would yield
    1. linear OA(3¹⁶⁵, 171, F₃, 111) (dual of [171, 6, 112]-code), but
      - residual code [i] would yield linear OA(3⁵⁴, 59, F₃, 37) (dual of [59, 5, 38]-code), but
        1 times truncation [i] would yield linear OA(3⁵³, 58, F₃, 36) (dual of [58, 5, 37]-code), but
        residual code [i] would yield linear OA(3¹⁷, 21, F₃, 12) (dual of [21, 4, 13]-code), but
        â€œHNâ€ bound on codes from Brouwerâ€™s database [i]
    2. OA(3⁹, 175, S₃, 4), but
      - discarding factors would yield OA(3⁹, 100, S₃, 4), but
        the Rao or (dual) Hamming bound shows that MÂ â‰¥ 20001 > 3⁹ [i]

(173−118, 173, 231)-Net in Base 3 — Upper bound on s

There is no (55, 173, 232)-net in base 3, because

the generalized Rao bound for nets shows that 3^mÂ â‰¥ 35052 994037 320769 127932 431335 106043 770922 375672 039869 237406 201786 580443 511452 312865 > 3¹⁷³ [i]
