A Lloyd Theorem in Weakly Metric Association Schemes

Weakly metric association schemes are a generalization of metric schemes occurring in graph theory (vertex transitive digraphs), coding theory (Lee scheme, Clark-Liang scheme), and group theory (conjugacy scheme). Linear constraints on the inner distribution of r-covering codes in these schemes lead to a ‘Lloyd theorem’ on perfect codes. This generalizes results from Delsarte, Biggs, Bassalygo and Landauer.
