Code details

best found code with parameters
q=19 k=3 n=20
minimum distance = 18

this is new optimal code


the previous bounds were -1/18
this is a projective code


We used the prescribed group of automorphisms with the following generators


4 13 7
12 12 12
3 7 3

This group makes 77 orbits of sizes:

5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 1 5 5 5 5 5


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

0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 2 0 0 2 1 2 2 1 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 0


This produces the following generator matrix

0 18 18 18 18 0 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18
18 2 16 11 9 18 6 8 17 9 14 3 3 17 11 2 16 14 6 8
3 1 0 4 11 2 1 18 9 2 12 2 8 0 16 18 11 4 9 16



Which is a code with the following weight distribution
1y20+3420x18y2+360x19y1+3078x20
