  • Abstract
    Some new infinite families of short quasi-perfect linear codes are described. Such codes provide improvements on the currently known upper bounds on the minimal length of a quasi-perfect [n,n-m,4]q-code when either 1) q=16, m ges 5, m odd, or 2) q=2i, 7 les i les 15, m ges 4, or 3) q=22lscr , lscr ges 8, m ges 5, m odd. As quasi-perfect [n,n-m,4]q-codes and complete n-caps in projective spaces PG(m-1,q) are equivalent objects, new upper bounds on the size of the smallest complete cap in PG(m-1,q) are obtained
