Index of bounds on the parameters of codes#

The codes.bounds object may be used to access the bounds that Sage can compute.

`codesize_upper_bound()`	Return an upper bound on the number of codewords in a (possibly non-linear) code.

`delsarte_bound_constant_weight_code()`	Find the Delsarte bound on a constant weight code.
`delsarte_bound_hamming_space()`	Find the Delsarte bound on codes in `H_q^n` of minimal distance `d`
`dimension_upper_bound()`	Return an upper bound for the dimension of a linear code.
