Summary: Let \(A_q(n,d)\) denote the maximum size of a \(q\)-ary code with size \(n\) and minimum distance \(d\). For most values of \(n\) and \(d\), only lower and upper bounds on \(A_q(n,d)\) are known. In this paper we present 19 new lower bounds where \(q \in \{3,4,5\}\). The bounds are based on codes whose automorphisms are prescribed by transitive permutation groups. An exhaustive computer search was carried out to find the new codes.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1370.94004].
