(172, 221, 1079237)-Net in Base 4 — Upper bound on s
There is no (172, 221, 1079238)-net in base 4, because
- 1 times m-reduction [i] would yield (172, 220, 1079238)-net in base 4, but
- the generalized Rao bound for nets shows that 4m ≥ 2 839267 100375 187958 692582 812205 705377 788121 942237 466475 729965 593876 544705 498853 459518 771489 480765 234030 757110 605956 376894 584019 954056 > 4220 [i]
