Title
The sextuply shortened binary Golay code is optimal
Abstract
The maximum size of unrestricted binary three-error-correcting codes has been known up to the length of the binary Golay code, with two exceptions. Specifically, denoting the maximum size of an unrestricted binary code of length n and minimum distance d by A(n, d), it has been known that \(64 \le A(18,8) \le 68\) and \(128 \le A(19,8) \le 131\). In the current computer-aided study, it is shown that \(A(18,8)=64\) and \(A(19,8)=128\), so an optimal code is obtained even after shortening the extended binary Golay code six times.
