Johnson scheme

In mathematics, the Johnson scheme, named after Selmer M. Johnson, is also known as the triangular association scheme. It consists of the set of all binary vectors X of length and weight n, such that .[1][2][3] Two vectors x, y  X are called ith associates if dist(x, y) = 2i for i = 0, 1, ..., n. The eigenvalues are given by

where

and Ek(x) is an Eberlein polynomial defined by
