About this paper

Bai XunDi

The authors construct covering arrays that add a column to Reed–Solomon arrays by mapping each pattern on old columns to a line in an affine plane and coloring its points. When every line contains c colors, the construction gives a bound of q^t+(q−c)q^(t−1) rows. For t=4 and q=19, it uses 195,301 rows, below a listed upper bound of 253,422, not a proven minimum.
