In this paper, the properties of $M_{q}(k)$ are studied, and some new upper bounds of $M_{q}(k)$ are obtained. Especially we obtain that $M_{q}(q-1)\\leq q+2(q\\equiv4(mod 6)), M_{q}(q-2)\\leq q+1(q\\equiv4(mod 6)), M_{q}(k)\\leq q+k-3 (q=36(5s+1), s\\in N$ and $ k=6,7).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-04-27T06:47:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E20", "94B05", "94B65" ], "keywords": [ "mds codes", "upper bounds", "maximum length" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0904.4094Y" } } }
