Best Known (246−188, 246, s)-Nets in Base 4

(246−188, 246, 66)-Net over F₄ — Constructive and digital

Digital (58, 246, 66)-net over F₄, using

t-expansion [i] based on digital (49, 246, 66)-net over F₄, using
- net from sequence [i] based on digital (49, 65)-sequence over F₄, using
  - Niederreiterâ€“Xing sequence constructionÂ II/III [i] based on function field F/F₄ with g(F) = 49 and N(F) ≥ 66, using
    - T₆ from the second tower of function fields by GarcÃa and Stichtenoth over F₄ [i]

(246−188, 246, 91)-Net over F₄ — Digital

Digital (58, 246, 91)-net over F₄, using

t-expansion [i] based on digital (50, 246, 91)-net over F₄, using
- net from sequence [i] based on digital (50, 90)-sequence over F₄, using
  - Niederreiterâ€“Xing sequence constructionÂ II/III [i] based on function field F/F₄ with g(F) = 50 and N(F) ≥ 91, using
    - a curve from the manYPoints database [i]

(246−188, 246, 240)-Net over F₄ — Upper bound on s (digital)

There is no digital (58, 246, 241)-net over F₄, because

12 times m-reduction [i] would yield digital (58, 234, 241)-net over F₄, but
- extracting embedded orthogonal array [i] would yield linear OA(4²³⁴, 241, F₄, 176) (dual of [241, 7, 177]-code), but
  - residual code [i] would yield linear OA(4⁵⁸, 64, F₄, 44) (dual of [64, 6, 45]-code), but
    - residual code [i] would yield linear OA(4¹⁴, 19, F₄, 11) (dual of [19, 5, 12]-code), but
      - 1 times truncation [i] would yield linear OA(4¹³, 18, F₄, 10) (dual of [18, 5, 11]-code), but
        â€œLizâ€ bound on codes from Brouwerâ€™s database [i]

(246−188, 246, 246)-Net in Base 4 — Upper bound on s

There is no (58, 246, 247)-net in base 4, because

3 times m-reduction [i] would yield (58, 243, 247)-net in base 4, but
- extracting embedded orthogonal array [i] would yield OA(4²⁴³, 247, S₄, 185), but
  - the (dual) Plotkin bound shows that MÂ â‰¥ 6393 341031 047152 089869 511126 616404 594173 128996 177860 916959 553453 312761 321102 879990 006386 899074 031556 935325 554936 640763 689877 454191 182408 307282 280448 / 31 > 4²⁴³ [i]
