arXiv:2611.00173v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We compute Polak's bound $A_4(19,6,8)$ for binary constant weight codes, obtaining the numerical value $673.04001$. An exact rational certificate gives $A_4(19,6,8)\le 673.0400143064802474039375132665301315202504$, and hence $A(19,6,8)\le 673$. This improves the upper bound $693$ listed in Brouwer's table. The certificate is verified by a separate program using exact rational arithmetic.
