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

We show that, if a bipartite distance-regular graph of valency k has an eigenvalue of multiplicity k, then it becomes 2-homogeneous. Combined with a result on bipartite 2-homogeneous distance-regular graphs by K. Nomura, we have a classification of such graphs.
and Terwilliger recently introduced the notion of a tridiagonal pair. We apply their results to distance-regular graphs and obtain the following theorem. THEOREM. Let denote a distance-regular graph with diameter D โฅ 3. Suppose is Q-polynomial with respect to the ordering E 0 , E 1 , . . . , E D of
In [1] N.L. Biggs mentions two parameter sets for distance regular graphs that are antipodal covers of a complete graph, for which existence of a corresponding graph was unknown. Here we settle both cases by proving that one does not exist, while there are exactly two nonisomorphic solutions to the

Let ฮธ 0 > ฮธ 1 > โข โข โข > ฮธ D denote the eigenvalues of and let E 0 , E 1 , . . . , E D denote the associated primitive idempotents. Fix s (1 โค s โค D -1) and abbreviate E := E s . We say E is a tail whenever the entry
