As a corollary of this result, we show that “large” association schemes become P-polynomial association schemes. Our results are summarized as follows. Let G = (V, E) be a connected k-regular graph with d+1 distinct eigenvalues k=θ_0 >θ_1 >⋯>θ_d. Since the diameter of G is at most d, we have the Moore bound |V|≤M(k,d)=1+k∑^^__(k−1)^i. Note that if |V| > M(k, d−1) holds, the diameter of G is equal to d. Let E_i be the orthogonal projection matrix onto the eigenspace corresponding to θ_i. Let ∂(u, v) be the path distance of u, v ∈V.}, pages = {379--386}, title = {Polynomial properties on large symmetric association schemes}, volume = {20}, year = {2016} }
