New parameters of subsets in polynomial schemes

Abstract

We define new parameters, a zero interval and a dual zero interval, of subsets in PP- or QQ-polynomial schemes. A zero interval of a subset in a PP-polynomial scheme is a successive interval index for which the inner distribution vanishes, and a dual zero interval of a subset in a QQ-polynomial scheme is a successive interval index for which the dual inner distribution vanishes. We derive the bounds of the lengths of a zero interval and a dual zero interval using the degree and dual degree respectively, and show that a subset in a PP-polynomial scheme (resp. a QQ-polynomial scheme) having a large length of a zero interval (resp. a dual zero interval) induces a completely regular code (resp. a QQ-polynomial scheme). Moreover, we consider the spherical analogue of a dual zero interval.
