Lower bounds for the football pool problem for 7 and 8 matches
The electronic journal of combinatorics, Tome 14 (2007)
Let $k_3(n)$ denote the minimal cardinality of a ternary code of length $n$ and covering radius one. In this paper we show $k_3(7)\ge 156$ and $k_3(8)\ge 402$ improving on the best previously known bounds $k_3(7)\ge 153$ and $k_3(8)\ge 398$. The proofs are founded on a recent technique of the author for dealing with systems of linear inequalities satisfied by the number of elements of a covering code, that lie in $k$-dimensional subspaces of F${}_3^n$.
