Code details

best found code with parameters
q=17 k=3 n=166
minimum distance = 155

this is new optimal code


the previous bounds were -1/155
this is a projective code


We used the prescribed group of automorphisms with the following generators


0 0 16
16 0 0
0 16 0

4 0 0
0 12 0
0 0 12

16 0 0
0 16 0
0 0 16

This group makes 31 orbits of sizes:

3 6 4 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 6 12 12 12 12 6 12 12 12 6 6 12 6 12 6 6


The solution of the corresponding linear system of equations was found after less than 100 seconds:

0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 10 10 0 9 10 11 11 11 10 11 10 11 8 11 10 11 10 11 11 11 1 7 11 8 11 11 8 8 10 11 10


This produces the following generator matrix
