  • Abstract
    We denote Qn the set of binary words of length n. A partition {C1,C2,¿,Cr} of Qn with quotient matrix B = (bij)r×r is equitable if for all i and j, any word in d has exactly bij neighbors in Cj. The equitable partitions of Qn can be obtained from completely regular codes. We derive a bound on equitable partitions of Qn that does not depend on the size of the partition.
