We consider two kinds of partition of a graph, namely orbit partitions and equitable partitions. Although an orbit partition is always an equitable partition, the converse is not true in general. We look at some classes of graphs for which the converse is true.

Furthermore, on the basis of some properties of the adjacency eigenvectors of a graph, a necessary and sufficient condition for the graph to be primitive strongly regular is introduced. c © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
