چکیده
Let Γ denote a Q-polynomial distance-regular graph with diameter D ≥ 4. Assume that the intersection numbers of Γ satisfy ai = 0 for 0 ≤ i ≤ D − 1 and aD 6= 0. We show that Γ is a polygon, a folded cube, or an Odd graph.

Some new constructions of imprimitive cometric association schemes
In a recent paper [9], the authors introduced the extended Q-bipartite double of an almost dual bipartite cometric association scheme. Since the association schemes arising from linked systems of symmetric designs are almost dual bipartite, this gives rise to a new infinite family of 4-class cometric schemes which are both Q-bipartite and Q-antipodal. These schemes, the schemes arising from lin...

متن کاملBipartite distance-regular graphs and the Q-polynomial property; the combinatorial meaning of q
These problems are inspired by a careful study of the papers of concerning bipartite distance-regular graphs. Throughout these notes we let Γ = (X, R) denote a bipartite distance-regular graph with diameter D ≥ 3 and standard module V = C X. We fix a vertex x ∈ X and let E denote the corresponding dual primitive idempotents. We define the matrices R = D i=0 E * i+1 AE * i , L= D i=0 E * i−1 AE ...
متن کاملOn Bipartite Q-Polynomial Distance-Regular Graphs with Diameter 9, 10, or 11
Let Γ denote a bipartite distance-regular graph with diameter D. In [J. S. Caughman, Bipartite Q-polynomial distance-regular graphs, Graphs Combin. 20 (2004), 47–57], Caughman showed that if D > 12, then Γ is Q-polynomial if and only if one of the following (i)-(iv) holds: (i) Γ is the ordinary 2D-cycle, (ii) Γ is the Hamming cube H(D, 2), (iii) Γ is the antipodal quotient of the Hamming cube H...
متن کاملThe Parameters of Bipartite Q-polynomial Distance-Regular Graphs
Let denote a bipartite distance-regular graph with diameter D ≥ 3 and valency k ≥ 3. Suppose θ0, θ1, . . . , θD is a Q-polynomial ordering of the eigenvalues of . This sequence is known to satisfy the recurrence θi−1 − βθi + θi+1 = 0 (0 < i < D), for some real scalar β. Let q denote a complex scalar such that q + q−1 = β. Bannai and Ito have conjectured that q is real if the diameter D is suffi...
