Dimension-five self-orthogonal distance conjecture

Let d(n,5)d(n,5) denote the largest minimum distance of a binary linear [n,5][n,5] code, and let \dso(n,5)\dso(n,5) denote the largest minimum distance of a binary self-orthogonal [n,5][n,5] code. For integers n10n\ge 10 satisfying n13n\neq 13 and n316,13,14,21,22,28,29n\equiv_{31}6,13,14,21,22,28,29, consider optimal self-orthogonal codes of length nn and dimension 55. Dimension-five self-orthogonal distance conjecture.

\dso(n,5)=d(n,5)2.\dso(n,5)=d(n,5)-2.

Equivalently, there are no [n,5,d(n,5)][n,5,d(n,5)] self-orthogonal codes. The conjecture is based on the tabulated optimal self-orthogonal codes and computations using random codes for the indicated parameter range; the source gives no proof or resolution for all such nn.
