Best Known (246−190, 246, s)-Nets in Base 4

(246−190, 246, 66)-Net over F₄ — Constructive and digital

Digital (56, 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]

(246−190, 246, 91)-Net over F₄ — Digital

Digital (56, 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]

(246−190, 246, 234)-Net over F₄ — Upper bound on s (digital)

There is no digital (56, 246, 235)-net over F₄, because

18 times m-reduction [i] would yield digital (56, 228, 235)-net over F₄, but
- extracting embedded orthogonal array [i] would yield linear OA(4²²⁸, 235, F₄, 172) (dual of [235, 7, 173]-code), but
  - residual code [i] would yield OA(4⁵⁶, 62, S₄, 43), but
    - the linear programming bound shows that MÂ â‰¥ 26 916866 914644 546426 302092 970676 977664 / 4675 > 4⁵⁶ [i]

(246−190, 246, 238)-Net in Base 4 — Upper bound on s

There is no (56, 246, 239)-net in base 4, because

11 times m-reduction [i] would yield (56, 235, 239)-net in base 4, but
- extracting embedded orthogonal array [i] would yield OA(4²³⁵, 239, S₄, 179), but
  - the (dual) Plotkin bound shows that MÂ â‰¥ 48777 321098 687378 615337 456715 518223 527321 845979 140174 232174 327494 146433 419058 837814 379782 860367 062049 372295 798771 978482 741374 619988 879457 910784 / 15 > 4²³⁵ [i]
