Abstract:
For a distance-regular graph Γ of diameter 4, the graph Δ=Γ1,2 can be strongly regular. In this case, the graph Γ3,4 is strongly regular and complementary to Δ. Finding the intersection array of Γ from the parameters of Γ3,4 is an inverse problem. In the present paper, the inverse problem is solved in the case of an antipodal graph Γ of diameter 4. In this case, r=2 and Γ3,4 is a strongly regular graph without triangles. Further, Γ is an AT4(p,q,r)-graph only in the case q=p+2 and r=2. Earlier the authors proved that an AT4(p,p+2,2)-graph does not exist. A Krein graph is a strongly regular graph without triangles for which the equality in the Krein bound is attained (equivalently, q222=0). A Krein graph Kre(r) with the second eigenvalue r has parameters ((r2+3r)2,r3+3r2+r,0,r2+r). For the graph Kre(r), the antineighborhood of a vertex is strongly regular with parameters ((r2+2r−1)(r2+3r+1),r3+2r2,0,r2) and the intersection of the antineighborhoods of two adjacent vertices is strongly regularly with parameters ((r2+2r)(r2+2r−1),r3+r2−r, 0,r2−r). Let Γ be an antipodal graph of diameter 4, and let Δ=Γ3,4 be a strongly regular graph without triangles. In this paper it is proved that Δ cannot be a graph with parameters ((r2+2r−1)(r2+3r+1),r3+2r2,0,r2), and if Δ is a graph with parameters ((r2+2r)(r2+2r−1),r3+r2−r,0,r2−r), then r>3. It is proved that a distance-regular graph with intersection array {32,27,12(r−1)/r,1;1,12/r,27,32} exists only for r=3, and, for a graph with array {96,75,32(r−1)/r,1;1,32/r,75,96}, we have r=2.
