The maximum cardinality of trifferent codes with lengths 5 and 6

A code $\mathcal{C} \subseteq {0, 1, 2}^n$ is said to be trifferent with length $n$ when for any three distinct elements of $\mathcal{C}$ there exists a coordinate in which they all differ. Defining $\mathcal{T}(n)$ as the maximum cardinality of trifferent codes with length $n$, $\mathcal{T}(n)$ is unknown for $n \ge 5$. In this note, we use an optimized search algorithm to show that $\mathcal{T}(5) = 10$ and $\mathcal{T}(6) = 13$.
