The question as to whether there exists an infinite family of near MDS codes holding t-designs for t ? 2 was answered in the recent paper [Infinite families t-designs, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 66(9) (2020)], where 3-designs and 2-designs were presented, but no linear 4-designs presented. Hence, is remains open 71 years. This settles this longstanding problem by presenting BCH length <sup xmlns:m...
