The LP optimum conjecture for odd-dimensional generators in
The LP optimum conjecture for odd-dimensional generators in
Let be the classical association scheme whose elements include a set of generators , and let be the underlying field parameter. For a positive integer , a -code is a subset of satisfying the distance condition used in the scheme, and let denote the Delsarte linear-programming optimum for such codes.
LP optimum conjecture for . If and are odd integers with , then
This conjecture asserts that the bound given in Corollary 3.4(d) of Schmidt, Weiss, and Steiner is sharp as the LP optimum for odd . The formula was checked computationally for many small values of , , and , but no general proof is supplied here.
