A Cap Found by Tallini

In [1], Tallini shows that a 41-cap in the projective space PG(4, 4), and therefore a [41, 36, 4]-code over F4 exists. In [2], Edel and Bierbrauer present explicit generator matrices for two essentially different codes with the same parameters.

Codes with these parameters are optimal.
