Abstract

Let τ\tau be a strongly (n,p;a,c)(n,p;a,c) regular graph,such that 0<c<p<n1,0<c<p<n-1, AA his matrix of adjacency and let Vn{\cal V}_{n} be the Euclidean space spanned by the powers of AA over the reals where the scallar product \bullet|\bullet is defined by xy=trace(xy).x|y={trace}(x \cdot y). In this work ones proves that Vn{\cal V}_{n} is an Euclidean Jordan algebra of rank 3 when one introduces in Vn{\cal V}_{n} the usual product of matrices. In this Euclidean Jordan algebra one defines the modulus of a matrix, and afterwards one defines AxxR.|A|^x \forall x\in \mathbb{R}. Working inside the Euclidean Jordan algebra Vn{\cal V}_{n} and making use of the properties of Ax|A|^x one defines the generalized krein parameters of the strongly (n,p;a,c)(n,p;a,c) regular graph τ\tau and finally one presents necessary conditions over the parameters and the spectra of the τ\tau strongly (n,p;a,c)(n,p;a,c) regular graph.
