Abstract
We consider the geometric problem of determining the maximum number of -spaces in the projective space such that each subspace of codimension does contain at most elements. In coding theory terms we are dealing with additive codes that have a large th generalized Hamming weight. We also consider the dual problem of the minimum number of -spaces in such that each subspace of codimension contains at least elements. We fully determine as a function of . We additionally give bounds and constructions for other parameters. For the computational results we partially use extensive integer linear programming computations.
