β¦ Synopsis
We show how the Delsarte theory can be used to obtain a linear programming bound for orthogonal arrays with mixed levels. Even for strength 2 this improves on the Rao bound in a large number of cases. The results point to several interesting sets of parameters for which the existence of the arrays is at present undecided.

It is shown that for fixed v,k, and t, an orthogonal array A, (v,k, 2) exists for ~2k-21) 2k-t. Information on the number of orthogonal arrays with given parameters, as a function of 2, is also obtained. In this paper v,k, and t will be fixed integers satisfying v>~2 and 1 <~t<~k. Let Iv] denote t
