Underbound length of a ternary linear code












0












$begingroup$


I have to prove the following theorem:



Let $C$ be a ternary linear $[n,2,d]$-code. Prove that $d+ d/3 leq n$.



Now I don't really see what the best approach for this would be. I was thinking maybe the generator matrix, but I didn't really get anywhere when trying this. Any tips?

    $d+ d/3 leq n$ looks weird, as it would be simpler to write $ frac43 d leq n$ Are you sure you got it right?

    Hint: consider the possible columns of $G$ and how many linear combinatios produce a zero in each position....

    This is a special case of the Griesmer bound. The 2-dimensional case can, indeed, be proven the way leonbloy indicated. But the general result isn't very difficult either.
