A Euclidean t-design, as introduced by Neumaier and Seidel (1988), is a finite set 𝒳 ⊂ ℝn with a weight function w : 𝒳 → ℝ+ for which
holds for every polynomial ƒ of total degree at most t; here R is the set of norms of the points in 𝒳, Wr is the total weight of all elements of 𝒳 with norm r, Sr is the n-dimensional sphere of radius r centered at the origin, and
is the average of ƒ over Sr...
