A Result by Barát, Edel, Hill, and Storme
Let m2(u, b) denote the size of the largest cap in the projective space PG(u, b). In [1], using computer searches, it is proven that every 49-cap in PG(5, 3) is contained in a 56-cap, and that every 48-cap, having a 20-hyperplane with at most 8-solids, is also contained in a 56-cap. These computer results allow a geometrical proof that m2(6, 3) ≤ 147. A computer search for caps in PG(6, 3) which uses the computer results of PG(5, 3) then lowers this bound to m2(6, 3) ≤ 136.
Therefore, for every linear orthogonal array OA(37, s, ℤ3, 3) / linear [s, s−7, 4]-code over ℤ3 we must have s ≤ 136.
