A set ${X}_{N}=\{x_1,\ldots,x_N\}$ of $N$ points on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^d,\,d\geq 2$ is a spherical $t$-design if the average of any polynomial of degree at most $t$ over the sphere is equal to the average value of the polynomial…

This paper provides a survey of spherical designs and their applications, with a particular emphasis on the perspective of ``numerical analysis''. A set \(X_N\) of \(N\) points on the unit sphere \(\mathbb{S}^d\) is called a…

In this paper, we prove the existence of a spherical $t$-design formed by adding extra points to an arbitrarily given point set on the sphere and, subsequently, deduce the existence of nested spherical designs. Estimates on the number of…

A spherical $t$-design is a finite subset $X$ of the unit sphere such that every polynomial of degree at most $t$ has the same average over $X$ as it does over the entire sphere. Determining the minimum possible size of spherical designs,…

Let N(n, t) be the minimal number of points in a spherical t-design on the unit sphere S^n in R^{n+1}. For each n >= 3, we prove a new asymptotic upper bound N(n, t) <= C(n)t^{a_n}, where C(n) is a constant depending only on n, a_3 <= 4,…

Spherical t-designs are Chebyshev-type averaging sets on the d-sphere S^d which are exact for polynomials of degree at most t. This concept was introduced in 1977 by Delsarte, Goethals, and Seidel, who also found the minimum possible size…

This paper studies numerical integration over the unit sphere $ \mathbb{S}^2 \subset \mathbb{R}^{3} $ by using spherical $t$-design, which is an equal positive weights quadrature rule with polynomial precision $t$. We investigate two kinds…

Spherical $t$-design is a finite subset on sphere such that, for any polynomial of degree at most $t$, the average value of the integral on sphere can be replaced by the average value at the finite subset. It is well-known that an…

A spherical $t$-design is a set of points on the sphere that are nodes of a positive equal weight quadrature rule having algebraic accuracy $t$ for all spherical polynomials with degrees $\le t$. Spherical $t$-designs have many…

Spherical $t$-designs are finite point sets on the unit sphere that enable exact integration of polynomials of degree at most $t$ via equal-weight quadrature. This concept has recently been extended to spherical $t$-design curves by the use…

For each $N\ge C_dt^d$ we prove the existence of a well separated spherical $t$-design in the sphere $S^d$ consisting of $N$ points, where $C_d$ is a constant depending only on $d$.

In this paper, we study spherical $T$-designs and their harmonic strength $\text{Hst}(X)$ on the unit circle $S^1$. For any finite set $T\subset\mathbb{N}$, we constructively demonstrate the existence of a finite design $X$ such that…

A finite set $X \seq \RR^n$ with a weight function $w : X \longrightarrow \RR_{>0}$ is called \emph{Euclidean $t$-design} in $\RR^n$ (supported by $p$ concentric spheres) if the following condition holds: \[ \sum_{i=1}^p…

We give some new explicit examples of putatively optimal projective spherical designs. i.e., ones for which there is numerical evidence that they are of minimal size. These form continuous families, and so have little apparent symmetry in…

We show how the variational characterisation of spherical designs can be used to take a union of spherical designs to obtain a spherical design of higher order (degree, precision, exactness) with a small number of points. The examples that…

A Euclidean $t$-design, as introduced by Neumaier and Seidel (1988), is a finite set ${\cal X} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ with a weight function $w: {\cal X} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$ for which $$\sum_{r \in R} W_r \overline{f}_{S_{r}} =…

In this paper we make a comparison between certain probabilistic and deterministic point sets and show that some deterministic constructions (spherical $t$-designs) are better or as good as probabilistic ones. We find asymptotic equalities…

In this paper, we investigate in detail the structures of the variational characterization $A_{N,t}$ of the spherical $t$-design, its gradient $\nabla A_{N,t}$, and its Hessian $\mathcal{H}(A_{N,t})$ in terms of fast spherical harmonic…

Here we study the automorphism groups of $1$-designs constructed from finite nonabelian simple groups by using two methods presented in Moori (Information Security, Coding Theory and Related Combinatorics, 2011). We obtain some general…

If a (weighted) spherical design is defined as an integration (cubature) rule for a unitarily invariant space P of polynomials (on the sphere), then any unitary image of it is also such a spherical design. It therefore follows that such…
