Relative $t$-designs in the $n$-dimensional hypercube $mathcal{Q}_n$ are equivalent to weighted regular $t$-wise balanced designs, which generalize combinatorial $t$-$(n,k,lambda)$ designs by allowing multiple block sizes as well as weights. Partly motivated by the recent study on tight Euclidean $t$-designs on two concentric spheres, in this paper we discuss tight relative $t$-designs in $mathcal{Q}_n$ supported on two shells. We show under a mild condition that such a relative $t$-design induces the structure of a coherent configuration with two fibers. Moreover, from this structure we deduce that a polynomial from the family of the Hahn hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials must have only integral simple zeros. The Terwilliger algebra is the main tool to establish these results. By explicitly evaluating the behavior of the zeros of the Hahn polynomials when they degenerate to the Hermite polynomials under an appropriate limit process, we prove a theorem which gives a partial evidence that the non-trivial tight relative $t$-designs in $mathcal{Q}_n$ supported on two shells are rare for large $t$.
A relative t-design in the binary Hamming association schemes H(n,2) is equivalent to a weighted regular t-wise balanced design, i.e., certain combinatorial t-design which allow different sizes of blocks and a weight function on blocks. In this paper
We study a natural Markov chain on ${0,1,cdots,n}$ with eigenvectors the Hahn polynomials. This explicit diagonalization makes it possible to get sharp rates of convergence to stationarity. The process, the Burnside process, is a special case of the
We study the non-rigidity of Euclidean $t$-designs, namely we study when Euclidean designs (in particular certain tight Euclidean designs) can be deformed keeping the property of being Euclidean $t$-designs. We show that certain tight Euclidean $t$-d
As a generalization of vertex connectivity, for connected graphs $G$ and $T$, the $T$-structure connectivity $kappa(G, T)$ (resp. $T$-substructure connectivity $kappa^{s}(G, T)$) of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set of subgraphs $F$ of $G$ that
We compute the ($q_1,q_2$)-deformed Hermite polynomials by replacing the quantum harmonic oscillator problem to Fibonacci oscillators. We do this by applying the ($q_1, q_2$)-extension of Jackson derivative. The deformed energy spectrum is also found
