This paper is concerned with proving the existence of solutions to an underdetermined system of equations and with the application to existence of spherical $t$-designs with $(t+1)^2$ points on the unit sphere $S^2$ in $R^3$. We show that the construction of spherical designs is equivalent to solution of underdetermined equations. A new verification method for underdetermined equations is derived using Brouwer’s fixed point theorem. Application of the method provides spherical $t$-designs which are close to extremal (maximum determinant) points and have the optimal order $O(t^2)$ for the number of points. An error bound for the computed spherical designs is provided.
