Popis: The constant A ( n , d , w ) is the maximum number of words in an ( n , d , w ) binary code, that is, a code of minimal distance d, with words of length n and weight w. We improve the best known lower bounds on A ( n , d , w ) for three sets of parameters by using optimization; in particular, we show that A ( 29 , 8 , 5 ) ≥ 36 , A ( 30 , 8 , 5 ) ≥ 41 , and A ( 32 , 8 , 5 ) = 44 by explicitly giving the respective codes. The (32, 8, 5) code is optimal and leads to eight more new optimal codes. We show this by improving the known result on the problem of finding the packing number P ( v , 5 , 2 ) for v ≡ 12 (mod 20).
