โฆ Synopsis
Let ,~(ll) be an eigenspace of a finite graph G, with dimension m and codimension t > I. It is shown that if It ~ {-1,0} then m ~< ~ (t -l)(t + 4). A necessary and sufficient condition for It to be a multiple eigenvalue of G is established, and used to construct
examples from iratersecting families of sets.

Let \(G\) be a distance-regular graph. If \(G\) has an eigenvalue \(\theta\) of multiplicity \(m\) \((\geqslant 2)\), then \(G\) has a natural representation in \(R^{m}\). By studying the geometric properties of the image configuration in \(R^{m}\), we can obtain considerable information about the g
