Let 1 denote a bipartite Q-polynomial distance-regular graph with diameter D 4. We show that 1 is the quotient of an antipodal distance-regular graph if and only if one of the following holds. (i) 1 is a cycle of even length. (ii) 1 is the quotient of the 2D-cube. 1999 Academic Press \* , ..., %\

โฆ Synopsis
i=0 the polynomials involved are orthogonal and we display the orthogonality relations. We also show that each of the sequences satisfy a three-term recurrence and a relation known as the Askey-Wilson duality. We then turn our attention to two more bases for W. We find the matrix representations of A and A * with respect to these bases. From the entries of these matrices we obtain two sequences of scalars known as the first split sequence and second split sequence of W. We associate with W a sequence of scalars called the parameter array. This sequence consists of the eigenvalues of the restriction of A to W , the eigenvalues of the restriction of A * to W, the first split sequence of W and the second split sequence of W . We express all the scalars and polynomials associated with W in terms of its parameter array. We show that the parameter array of W is determined by r, t, d and one more free parameter. From this we conclude that the isomorphism class of W is determined by these four parameters. Finally, we apply our results to the case in which ฮ has q-Racah type or classical parameters.

We investigate the local structure of , focusing on those vertices with distance at most 2 from a given vertex x.
