The spectral excess theorem for distance-regular graphs states that a regular (connected) graph is distance-regular if and only if its spectral-excess equals its average excess. A bipartite graph $\Gamma$ is distance-biregular when it is distance-regular around each vertex and the intersection array only depends on the stable set such a vertex belongs to. In this note we derive a new version of the spectral excess theorem for bipartite distance-biregular graphs.

Merging the first and third classes in a connected graph is the operation of adding edges between all vertices at distance 3 in the original graph while keeping the original edges. We determine when merging the first and third classes in a bipartite distance-regular graph produces a distance-regular graph.

Recently, it has been shown that a connected graph $\Gamma$ with $d+1$ distinct eigenvalues and odd-girth $2d+1$ is distance-regular. The proof of this result was based on the spectral excess theorem. In this note we present an alternative and more direct proof which does not rely on the spectral excess theorem, but on a known characterization of distance regular graphs in terms of the predistance polynomial of degree $d$.

Krein Condition

A package for the Sage computer algebra system is developed for checking feasibility of a given intersection array for a distance-regular graph. We use this tool to show that there is no distance-regular graph with intersection array$$\{(2r+1)(4r+1)(4t-1), 8r(4rt-r+2t), (r+t)(4r+1); 1, (r+t)(4r+1), 4r(2r+1)(4t-1)\}  (r, t \geq 1),$$$\{135,\! 128,\! 16; 1,\! 16,\! 120\}$, $\{234,\! 165,\! 12; 1,\! 30,\! 198\}$ or $\{55,\! 54,\! 50,\! 35,\! 10; 1,\! 5,\! 20,\! 45,\! 55\}$. In all cases, the proofs rely on equality in the Krein condition, from which triple intersection numbers are determined. Further combinatorial arguments are then used to derive nonexistence.

Distance Regular Graphs

In the class of distance-regular graphs of diameter 3 there are 5 intersection arrays of graphs with at most 28 vertices and noninteger eigenvalue. These arrays are \(\{18,14,5;1,2,14\}\), \(\{18,15,9;1,1,10\}\), \(\{21,16,10;1,2,12\}\), \(\{24,21,3;1,3,18\}\), and \(\{27,20,7;1,4,21\}\). Automorphisms of graphs with intersection arrays \(\{18,15,9;1,1,10\}\) and \(\{24,21,3;1,3,18\}\) were found earlier by A.A. Makhnev and D.V. Paduchikh. In this paper, it is proved that a graph with the intersection array \(\{27,20,7;1,4,21\}\) does not exist.

Let $G$ be a regular (connected) graph with $n$ vertices and $d+1$ distinct eigenvalues. As a main result, it is shown that $G$ is an $r$-antipodal distance-regular graph if and only if the distance graph $G_d$ is constituted by disjoint copies of the complete graph $K_r$, with $r$ satisfying an expression in terms of $n$ and the distinct eigenvalues.

A distance-regular graph of diameterdhas2dintersection numbers that determine many properties of graph (e.g., its spectrum). We show that the first six coefficients of the matching polynomial of a distance-regular graph can also be determined from its intersection array, and that this is the maximum number of coefficients so determined. Also, the converse is true for distance-regular graphs of small diameter—that is, the intersection array of a distance-regular graph of diameter 3 or less can be determined from the matching polynomial of the graph.

Spectral Characterizations

A graph Γ with diameter d is strongly distance-regular if Γ is distance-regular and its distance-d graph Γd is strongly regular. Some known examples of such graphs are the connected strongly regular graphs, with distance-d graph Γd = Γ (the complement of Γ), and the antipodal distance-regular graphs. Here we study some spectral conditions for a (regular or distance-regular) graph to be strongly distance-regular. In particular, for the case d = 3 the following characterization is proved. A regular (connected) graph Γ, with distinct eigenvalues λ0 > λ1 > λ2 > λ3, is strongly distance-regular if and only if λ2 = −1, and Γ3 is k-regular with degree k satisfying an expression which depends only on the order and the different eigenvalues of Γ.
