Digital (28, 196, 55)-net over F₄, using

t-expansion [i] based on digital (26, 196, 55)-net over F₄, using
- net from sequence [i] based on digital (26, 54)-sequence over F₄, using
  - Niederreiterâ€“Xing sequence constructionÂ II/III [i] based on function field F/F₄ with g(F) = 26 and N(F) ≥ 55, using

(196−168, 196, 118)-Net in Base 4 — Upper bound on s

There is no (28, 196, 119)-net in base 4, because

91 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]
