(172−144, 172, 118)-Net in Base 4 — Upper bound on s

There is no (28, 172, 119)-net in base 4, because

67 times m-reduction [i] would yield (28, 105, 119)-net in base 4, but
- extracting embedded orthogonal array [i] would yield OA(4¹⁰⁵, 119, S₄, 77), but
  - the linear programming bound shows that MÂ â‰¥ 14740 350840 264612 307734 190498 827983 070811 108713 024058 004043 398903 758848 / 8 431225 > 4¹⁰⁵ [i]
