Best Known (68, 248, s)-Nets in Base 4

(68, 248, 66)-Net over F₄ — Constructive and digital

Digital (68, 248, 66)-net over F₄, using

t-expansion [i] based on digital (49, 248, 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]

(68, 248, 99)-Net over F₄ — Digital

Digital (68, 248, 99)-net over F₄, using

t-expansion [i] based on digital (61, 248, 99)-net over F₄, using
- net from sequence [i] based on digital (61, 98)-sequence over F₄, using
  - Niederreiterâ€“Xing sequence constructionÂ II/III [i] based on function field F/F₄ with g(F) = 61 and N(F) ≥ 99, using

(68, 248, 360)-Net over F₄ — Upper bound on s (digital)

There is no digital (68, 248, 361)-net over F₄, because

extracting embedded orthogonal array [i] would yield linear OA(4²⁴⁸, 361, F₄, 180) (dual of [361, 113, 181]-code), but
- residual code [i] would yield OA(4⁶⁸, 180, S₄, 45), but
  - the linear programming bound shows that MÂ â‰¥ 328494 790735 001198 305199 602445 532392 471737 863161 499929 581656 031112 774235 621273 901469 693549 435944 960000 000000 / 3 747617 146367 023709 191641 153229 380578 240235 288823 915002 005290 401803 > 4⁶⁸ [i]

(68, 248, 450)-Net in Base 4 — Upper bound on s

There is no (68, 248, 451)-net in base 4, because

the generalized Rao bound for nets shows that 4^mÂ â‰¥ 218055 118198 373581 516951 194040 423242 282304 957321 797875 795348 111343 912405 837881 013305 928711 494390 791994 334260 944252 838350 431380 324153 301666 947921 061328 > 4²⁴⁸ [i]
