About the Authors
  • Strongly regular graphs lie at the intersection of statistical design, group theory, finite geometry, information and coding theory, and extremal combinatorics. This monograph collects all the major known results together for the first time in book form, creating an invaluable text that researchers in algebraic combinatorics and related areas will refer to for years to come. The book covers the theory of strongly regular graphs, polar graphs, rank 3 graphs associated to buildings and Fischer groups, cyclotomic graphs, two-weight codes and graphs related to combinatorial configurations such as Latin squares, quasi-symmetric designs and spherical designs. It gives the complete classification of rank 3 graphs, including some new constructions. More than 100 graphs are treated individually. Some unified and streamlined proofs are featured, along with original material including a new approach to the (affine) half spin graphs of rank 5 hyperbolic polar spaces.

    • The first treatment of the subject in book form, comprehensively structured with unified proofs
    • Gives the complete classification of rank 3 graphs, previously scattered in the literature
    • Treats over 100 graphs individually, demonstrating their uses e.g. to test hypotheses, make conjectures or check properties

    'This is a book the mathematics world has long been waiting for … [The book] is by two of the leading researchers in the field. An interested reader will find almost everything on strongly regular graphs.' Ulrich Tamm, MathSciNet
