Abstract
Recent research indicates that optimal designs can be constructed based on coding theory. This paper explores the use of Gray map code to construct optimal four-level designs. A general construction of four-level designs is described and some theoretic results are obtained. Many four-level designs constructed by the method often possess nice properties, such as less aberration and lower discrepancy. Moreover, the method is useful to construct those of four-level designs with large size.
