pherical code

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In geometry and coding theory, a spherical code with parameters (n,N,t) is a set of N points on the
unit hypersphere in n dimensions for which the dot product of unit vectors from the origin to any two
points is less than or equal to t. The kissing number problem may be stated as the problem of finding
the maximal N for a given n for which a spherical code with parameters (n,N,1/2) exists.
The Tammes problem may be stated as the problem of finding a spherical code with minimal t for
given n and N.
