In a design with no repeated blocks \\((C_ k,C_{k-1},...,C_ 0)\\) is the inner distribution of Delsarte.    In this paper, an inequality for 0-design has been derived, which holds with equality iff the design is a t-design.    This inequality is then applied to the case of regular designs; that is the designs in which the number of blocks intersecting a given block in a given number of points is a constant depending only on the number of points.    Further, this analysis has been used to characterize the Steiner system \\({\\mathcal S}(4,7,23)\\) in terms of the derived design at two points.","citation":[{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1394348"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3863891"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5707657"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1088992"}]},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2025-07-15T19:59:02Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
