Large Caps in PG(4, b)
In [1], [2], and[3], Bierbrauer and Edel construct large caps in the projective space PG(4, b), and therefore [s, s−5, 4]-codes over Fb. The following values of s can be achieved for b ≥ 5:
| s | b | Reference |
| (5b2 − 2b−7)/2 | b≡1 mod 8 | [1] |
| (5b2 − 8b−13)/2 | b≡3 mod 8 | [1] |
| (5b2 − 6b−11)/2 | b≡5 mod 8 | [1] |
| (5b2 − 4b−9)/2 | b≡7 mod 8 | [1] |
| 2b2 + b + 9 | b = 2r | [2] |
| 3b2 + 4 | b = 2r with r odd | [3] |
