After some misinterpretation (in the comments below your question), here the hopefully helpful answer:
Intervals are usually written with commas like $[0,16]$ instead of $[0:16]$. The last one was known to me from some programming languages as the definition of a range of integers, so I assumed it to be from $\Bbb N$. I am sorry about this. Then of course the way to go would be something like this: $$a_i\in[0,16],\quad i=0,...,t-1$$ or $$a_i\in[0,16],\quad i\in\\{0,...,t-1\\}.$$
