All minimal [9,4]_{2}-codes are hyperbolic quadrics

Abstract: Minimal codes are being intensively studied in last years.

[n, k]_{q}

-minimal linear codes are in bijection with strong blocking sets of size

n

in

P G (k - 1, q)

and a lower bound for the size of strong blocking sets is given by

(k - 1) (q + 1) l e q n

. In this note we show that all strong blocking sets of length 9 in

P G (3, 2)

are the hyperbolic quadrics

Q^{+} (3, 2)

.
