Abstract: In Suzuki (1998) [7] Suzuki gave a classification of association schemes with multiple Q-polynomial structures, allowing for one exceptional case which has five classes. In this paper, we rule out the existence of this case. Hence Suzukiʼs theorem mirrors exactly the well-known counterpart for association schemes with multiple P-polynomial structures, a result due to Eiichi Bannai and Etsuko Bannai in 1980.

Abstract: Let be positive integers. A -edge-colored graph is -e.c. or -existentially closed if for any disjoint sets of vertices with , there is a vertex not in such that all edges from this vertex to the set are colored by the -th color. In this paper, we give an explicit construction of a -e.c. graph of polynomial order. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
