Code details

best found code with parameters
q=13 k=3 n=38
minimum distance = 34

this is new optimal code


the previous bounds were -1/34
this is a projective code


We used the prescribed group of automorphisms with the following generators


12 0 0
0 0 12
0 12 0

9 0 0
0 11 0
0 0 7

This group makes 25 orbits of sizes:

2 3 3 1 12 6 12 6 6 12 12 12 12 6 6 12 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 12 6


The solution of the corresponding linear system of equations was found after less than 10 seconds:

1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 4 4 2 4 1 4 3 4 3 2 4 0 0 4 4 4 0 3 1 4 4 4 4 2


This produces the following generator matrix

0 0 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12

Which is a code with the following weight distribution
1y38+1224x34y4+288x35y3+228x36y2+168x37y1+288x38
