A.E. Brouwer and J.H. Koolen

DOI: 10.1023/A:1018693118268

Abstract

We show that each distance-regular graph of valency four has known parameters.

Pages: 5–24

Keywords: distance-regular graph in this note we report on a computer search that proves that each distance-regular graph of valency four has known parameters
