New Upper Bounds on A(n,d)

Abstract

Upper bounds on the maximum number of codewords in a binary code of a given length and minimum Hamming distance are considered. New bounds are derived by a combination of linear programming and counting arguments. Some of these bounds improve on the best known analytic bounds. Several new record bounds are obtained for codes with small lengths.
