Representation of frames as regular \(k\)-distance sets (Q2099290)

This paper studies regular \(k\)-distance sets which are also frames for the underlying space. A set \(X \subset \mathbb{R}^n\) is called a two-distance set if there are two numbers \(p\) and \(q\) such that the distances between any pairs of points of \(X\) are either \(p\) or \(q\). Similarly, a set \(X\) in Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^n\) is called a \(k\)-distance set if there are \(k\) numbers \(a_1, a_2, \ldots\), and \(a_k\) such that the distances between any pairs of points of \(X\) are either \(a_1\), or \(a_2, \ldots\), or \(a_k\). The authors discuss various characteristics of regular \(k\)-distance sets as well as focus on \(k\)-distance tight frames for the underlying space. They also discuss the dual frames for regular \(k\)-distance sets and provide some examples. With Theorem 2.7, the authors provide also a perturbation result for regular \(k\)-distance frames based on the popular criterion given by \textit{P. G. Casazza} and \textit{O. Christensen} [J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 3, No. 5, 543--557 (1997; Zbl 0895.47007)].
