Construction X with Varšamov–Edel Bound
Construction X allows the construction of a new code based on three linear codes C1, C2, and Ce, where C1 is a subcode of C2, and Ce is an appropriately chosen auxiliary code.
Obtaining Code and Subcode Using the Varšamov-Edel Bound
Let C1ʹ denote a linear [s1, n1, d1]-code. Choose a d2 < d1 and apply Varšamov-Edel lengthening to C1ʹ, which is also an [s1, n1, d2]-code. The result is an [s2, n2, d2]-code C2, which contains as a subcode the [s2, n1, d1]-code C1 obtained from C1ʹ by embedding in the larger space Fbs2. Now construction X can be applied to C1 ⊂ C2.
Since C2 is not available explicitly, this method is considered non-constructive.
