In this paper, we study the $q$-distance matrix for a distance-regular graph and show that the $q$-distance matrix of a distance-regular graph with classical parameters ($D, q, \alpha, \beta$) has exactly three distinct eigenvalues, of…

We determine the distance-regular graphs with diameter at least $3$ and $c_2\geq 2$ but without induced $K_{1,4}$-subgraphs.

A graph $G$ with $d+1$ distinct eigenvalues is called strongly distance-regular if $G$ itself is distance-regular, and its distance-$d$ graph $G_d$ is strongly-regular. In this note we provide a spectral characterization of those…

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 is distance-biregular when it is…

Weakly distance-regular digraphs are a natural directed version of distance-regular graphs. In [8], the third author and Suzuki proposed a question when an orientation of a distance-regular graph defines a weakly distance-regular digraph.…

Weakly distance-regular digraphs are a natural directed version of distance-regular graphs. In [16], we classified all commutative weakly distance-regular digraphs whose underlying graphs are Hamming graphs, folded n-cubes, or Doob graphs.…

Bandelt and Mulder's structural characterization of Bipartite Distance Hereditary graphs asserts that such graphs can be built inductively starting from a single vertex and by repeatedly adding either pending vertices or twins (i.e.,…

In this paper we study when the $q$-distance matrix of a distance-regular graph has few distinct eigenvalues. We mainly concentrate on diameter 3.

In this paper, we show that every bipartite distance-regular Cayley graph with diameter $3$ can be constructed on the semidirect product of a group and $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$, except possibly for one case.

The characterization of bipartite distance-regularized graphs, where some vertices have eccentricity less than four, in terms of the incidence structures of which they are incidence graphs, is known. In this paper we prove that there is a…

We construct a new family of distance-biregular graphs related to hyperovals and a new sporadic example of a distance-biregular graph related to Mathon's perp system. The infinite family can be explained using 2-$\bipartB$-homogeneity,…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a distance-regular graph with classical parameters $(D,b,\alpha,\beta)$ and $b\not=1$, $\alpha=b-1$. The condition on $\alpha$ implies that $\Gamma$ is formally self-dual. For $b=q^2$ we use the adjacency matrix and dual…
