Abstract

We use exhaustive computer searches to show that there are exactly \( 36 \) codewords in an optimal ternary \( (11,7) \) code and exactly \( 13 \) codewords in an optimal ternary \( (14,10) \) code. We also enumerate inequivalent optimal ternary \( (14,10) \) codes and show that there are exactly \( 6151 \) such codes.
