In this paper we study the relation between the local spectrum of a vertex set C and the local spectra of its subconstituents. In particular, it is shown that, when C is a completely regular code, such spectra are uniquely determined by the local spectra of C. Moreover, we obtain a new characterization for completely pseudo-regular codes, and consequently for completely regular codes, in terms of the relation between the local spectrum of an extremal set of vertices and the local spectrum of its antipodal set. We also present a new proof of the version of the spectral excess theorem for extremal sets of vertices. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
