Abstract

A ternary [69, 5, 45] code is constructed, thus solving the problem of finding the minimum length of a ternary code of dimension 5 and minimum distance 45. Furthermore, this code is shown to be a unique two-weight code with weight enumerator 1+210Z45+32Z54. It is also shown that a ternary [70, 6, 45] code, which would have been a projective two-weight code giving rise to a new strongly regular graph, does not exist. In order to prove the main results, the uniqueness of some other optimal ternary codes with specified weight enumerators is also established.
