A new inequality for distance-regular graphs
Presented by Dr. Jernej TONEJC
Type: Oral presentation
Track: Representations of Graphs
Content
We will prove a new inequality for distance-regular graphs with diameter $d\geqslant 3$. Further, we will show that equality holds in several important cases, among others for antipodal distance-regular graphs (both nonbipartite and bipartite).
Using this new inequality we will show that an infinite family of feasible intersection arrays given by
$$
\left\{ \frac{( q^2 - 2)(q+1)}{2}, \frac{(q-1)^2 (q+2)}{2}, \frac{q(q-1)}{2};
1, \frac{(q-1) (q+2)}{2}, \frac{(q-1) q (q+1)}{2}\right\}
$$
cannot exist.
