We investigate universal bounds on spherical codes and spherical designs that could be obtained using Delsarte's linear programming methods. We give a lower estimate for the LP upper bound on codes, and an upper estimate for the LP lower…

A finite subset $X$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ is called an $s$-distance set with strength $t$ if its angle set $A(X):=\{\langle \mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}\rangle : \mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}\in X,\mathbf{x}\neq\mathbf{y} \}$ has size $s$,…

In this paper, we mainly consider the problem of spherical distribution of 5 points, that is, how to configure 5 points on a sphere such that the mutual distance sum attains the maximum. It is conjectured that the sum of distances is…

We derive general linear programming bounds for spherical $(k,k)$-designs. This includes lower bounds for the minimum cardinality and lower and upper bounds for minimum and maximum energy, respectively. As applications we obtain a universal…

The Cohn-Elkies linear program for sphere packing, which was used to solve the 8 and 24 dimensional cases, is conjectured to not be sharp in any other dimension $d>2$. By mapping feasible points of this infinite-dimensional linear program…

Let $X$ be a finite set in a complex sphere of $d$ dimension. Let $D(X)$ be the set of usual inner products of two distinct vectors in $X$. A set $X$ is called a complex spherical $s$-code if the cardinality of $D(X)$ is $s$ and $D(X)$…

We provide a bound on a natural distance between finitely and infinitely supported elements of the unit sphere of $\ell^2(\mathbb{N}^*)$, the space of real valued sequences with finite $\ell^2$ norm. We use this bound to estimate the…

We apply polynomial techniques (linear programming) to obtain lower and upper bounds on the covering radius of spherical designs as function of their dimension, strength, and cardinality. In terms of inner products we improve the lower…
