Let Γ be a triangle-free distance-regular graph with diameter d ≥ 3, valency k ≥ 3 and intersection number a2 6= 0. Assume Γ has an eigenvalue with multiplicity k. We show that Γ is 1-homogeneous in the sense of Nomura when d = 3 or when d ≥ 4 and a4 = 0. In the latter case we prove that Γ is an antipodal cover of a strongly regular graph, which means that it has diameter 4 or 5. For d = 5 the ...

In this research paper, we present a novel frame work for handling $m$-polar information by combining the theory of $m-$polar fuzzy  sets with graphs. We introduce certain types of edge regular $m-$polar fuzzy graphs and edge irregular $m-$polar fuzzy graphs. We describe some useful properties of edge regular, strongly edge irregular and strongly edge totally irregular $m-$polar fuzzy graphs. W...

A graph Γ with diameter d is strongly distance-regular if Γ is distanceregular and its distance-d graph Γd is strongly regular. The known examples are all the connected strongly regular graphs (i.e. d = 2), all the antipodal distanceregular graphs, and some distance-regular graphs with diameter d = 3. The main result in this paper is a characterization of these graphs (among regular graphs with...

Let G be a non-bipartite strongly regular graph on n vertices of valency k. We prove that if G has a distance-regular antipodal cover of diameter 4, then k ≤ 2(n + 1)/5 , unless G is the complement of triangular graph T (7), the folded Johnson graph J (8, 4) or the folded halved 8-cube. However, for these three graphs the bound k ≤ (n − 1)/2 holds. This result implies that only one of a complem...

In this paper, we begin the determination of all primitive strongly regular graphs with chromatic number equal to 5. Using eigenvalue techniques, we show that there are at most 43 possible parameter sets for such a graph. For each parameter set, we must decide which strongly regular graphs, if any, possessing the set are 5-chromatic. In this way, we deal completely with 34 of these parameter se...

We construct twelve infinite families of pseudocyclic and non-amorphic association schemes, in which each nontrivial relation is a strongly regular graph. Three of the twelve families generalize the counterexamples to A. V. Ivanov’s conjecture by Ikuta and Munemasa [13].

A block negacyclic Bush-type Hadamard matrix of order 36 is used in a symmetric BGW(26, 25, 24) with zero diagonal over a cyclic group of order 12 to construct a twin strongly regular graph with parameters v=936, k=375, l=m=150 whose points can be partitioned in 26 cocliques of size 36. The same Hadamard matrix then is used in a symmetric BGW(50, 49, 48) with zero diagonal over a cyclic group o...

We construct two-intersection sets in PG(5, q), q odd, admitting PSL(2, q), whose associated strongly regular graphs have the same parameters as, but are not isomorphic to, Paley graphs.
