Abstract

Minimal codes are being intensively studied in last years. [n,k]q[n,k]_{q}-minimal linear codes are in bijection with strong blocking sets of size nn in PG(k1,q)PG(k-1,q) and a lower bound for the size of strong blocking sets is given by (k1)(q+1)n(k-1)(q+1)\leq n. In this note we show that all strong blocking sets of length 9 in PG(3,2)PG(3,2) are the hyperbolic quadrics Q+(3,2)Q^{+}(3,2).
