Nets Constructed from Net-Embeddable BCH Codes
Families of digital (m−k, m, s)-nets with small k can be constructed by embedding orthogonal arrays obtained from families of BCH-Codes in nets.
Nets over the Binary Field
Constructions for digital (m−4, m, s)-nets over F2 for m ≥ 6 with
s = 2⌊m/2⌋ + 1 for m mod 4 ≠2 and
s = 2m/2 − 2 for m mod 4 = 2
are given in [1]. For 12 ≤ m ≤ 270 the second case can be improved to s = 2m/2 − 1 according to [2].
[3] gives a construction for digital (m – 5, m, 2m/2–1 + 1)-nets over ℤ2 for all even m ≥ 4, improving an earlier construction from [2], which obtains only s = 2m/2–1 − 1 instead of s = 2m/2–1 + 1.
[4, Theorem 8] gives a construction for digital (m – 7, m, 2r − 1)-nets over ℤ2 with m = 3r + 2 for all r ≥ 2 with gcd(r, 6) = 1.
Nets over the Ternary Field
Ternary digital (m−4, m, s)-nets can be constructed for all m ≥ 5 with
s = 3(m−1)/2 − 1 for m odd,
s = (3m/2 + 1)/2 for m mod 4 = 0, and
s = (3m/2 − 1)/2 for m mod 4 = 2.
The construction for odd m is from [1], the ones for even m are from [5].
Nets over the Quaternary Field
Quaternary digital (m−4, m, s)-nets can be constructed with
s = (2m + 1)/3 for m odd, 7 ≤ m ≤ 19 [6, Theorem 3.5],
s = (2m − 1)/3 for m even, 6 ≤ m ≤ 16 [6, Theorem 3.1], and
s = (2m−1 + 1)/3 for even m ≥ 18 [6, Theorem 3.7].
The existence of quaternary digital (m−4, m, s)-nets for even m ≥ 18 with s = (2m − 1)/3 is also given in [6, Theorem 3.1].
