Database of distance regular graphs#
In this module we construct several distance regular graphs and group them in a function that maps intersection arrays to graphs.
For a survey on distance-regular graph see [BCN1989] or [VDKT2016].

This builds a graph whose vertices are all \(n`x`n\) skew-symmetric matrices over \(GF(q)\) with zero diagonal. Two vertices are adjacent if and only if the difference of the two matrices has rank 2.
This grap is distance-regular with classical parameters \((\lfloor \frac n 2 \rfloor, q^2, q^2 - 1, q^{2 \lceil \frac n 2 \rceil -1})\).

- sage.graphs.generators.distance_regular.is_classical_parameters_graph(array)[source]#
Return a tuple of parameters representing the array given. If such no tuple can be produced, it returns
False
.Given an intersection array, if it represents a family of distance-regular graphs with classical parameters, then this function returns a tuple consisting of the parameters \((d, b, \alpha, \beta)\) and a fourth parameter which is the enum
CalssicalParametersGraph
indicating the family with the given itersection array. If the array doesn’t belong to any classical parameter graph, then this function returnsFalse
. If the array belongs to a sporadic graph rather than a family of graphs, then the function returnsFalse
. This is to reduce the overlap withsage.graphs.generators.distance_regular._sporadic_graph_database
.Note
The array given as an input is expected to be an intersection array. If this is not the case, then some exception may be raised.
