Distance-regular graph parameter checking in Sage

DOI

Launch in Binder

A SageMath package for checking the feasibility of distance-regular graph parameter sets. A more detailed description, along with some results, is available in a paper published in the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics.

Contents

drg

The drg folder contains the package source. After you make sure that Sage sees this folder, you can import it as a Python module.

sage: import drg
sage: p = drg.DRGParameters([80, 63, 12], [1, 12, 60])
sage: p.check_feasible()

You can also give an intersection array with parameters.

sage: r = var("r")
sage: fam = drg.DRGParameters([2*r^2*(2*r + 1), (2*r - 1)*(2*r^2 + r + 1), 2*r^2], [1, 2*r^2 , r*(4*r^2 - 1)])
sage: fam.check_feasible()
sage: fam1 = fam.subs(r == 1)
sage: fam1
Parameters of a distance-regular graph with intersection array {6, 4, 2; 1, 2, 3}
sage: fam2 = fam.subs(r == 2)
sage: fam2
Parameters of a distance-regular graph with intersection array {40, 33, 8; 1, 8, 30}
sage: fam2.check_feasible()
