Abstract

We propose a hierarchy of k-point bounds extending the Delsarte–Goethals–Seidel linear programming 2-point bound and the Bachoc–Vallentin semidefinite programming 3-point bound for spherical codes. An optimized implementation of this hierarchy allows us to compute 4, 5, and 6-point bounds for the maximum number of equiangular lines in Euclidean space with a fixed common angle.
