On the minimum weight of codes over F-5 constructed from certain conference matrices
In this paper, codes over F-5 with parameters [36; 18; 12], [48; 24; 15], [60; 30; 18], [64; 32; 18] and [76; 38; 21] which improve the previously known bounds on the minimum weight for linear codes over F-5 are constructed from conference matrices. Through shortening and truncating, the above codes give numerous new codes over F-5 which improve the previously known bounds on minimum weights.
