Identified eigenvalues of the ordered Hamming scheme as multivariable Krawtchouk polynomials.
Established properties of these polynomials within the scheme.
Abstract
We derive new estimates of the size of codes and orthogonal arrays in the ordered Hamming space (the Niederreiter-Rosenbloom-Tsfasman space). We also show that the eigenvalues of the ordered Hamming scheme, the association scheme that describes the combinatorics of the space, are given by the multivariable Krawtchouk polynomials, and establish some of their properties.
