(197, 242, 762881)-Net in Base 3 — Upper bound on s

There is no (197, 242, 762882)-net in base 3, because

1 times m-reduction [i] would yield (197, 241, 762882)-net in base 3, but
- the generalized Rao bound for nets shows that 3^mÂ â‰¥ 9 687788 975890 457782 188143 021106 239161 358431 093224 392173 315881 906648 425615 907800 823991 315448 221786 056410 467309 733597 > 3²⁴¹ [i]
