Sep 29, 2015 at 11:50 comment added Francis Raj S We also hope that this will happen. Is there any way to prove your statement.
Sep 29, 2015 at 11:35 comment added usul Assuming that's right, since $N(\mathcal{F})$ is the intersection of the Hamming balls of size $k$ around each $A \in \mathcal{F}$ minus $\mathcal{F}$, surely $\mathcal{F}$ must be as "clumped" as possible? (i.e. a Hamming ball when $l$ is the correct size). For instance, if we decrease the distance of some $A \in \mathcal{F}$ to every other $B \in \mathcal{F}$, then we only increase $|N(\mathcal{F})|$.
Sep 29, 2015 at 11:33 comment added usul Just want to clarify two things: (1) $l$ is given and fixed and we want to find the optimal $\mathcal{F}$ of that size, right? (2) The definition of $N(\mathcal{F})$ is correctly written "for all $A \in \mathcal{F}$"? (It shouldn't be "for some $A \in \mathcal{F}$"?)
