Quasi-symmetric designs can be used to construct optimal self complementary codes. In this article we give a construction of an infinite family of pseudo quasi-3 designs whose residual designs allow us to construct a family of codes with a new parameter set that meet the Grey Rankin bound.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-04-10T15:57:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coding theory", "construct optimal self complementary codes", "applications", "residual designs", "grey rankin bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0804.1740B" } } }
