Strongly regular graph srg(n,k,λ,μ): k-regular, adjacent vertices have λ common neighbors, non-adjacent have μ. Parameters must satisfy: k(k-λ-1)=μ(n-k-1). Eigenvalues: k, r, s with multiplicities 1, f, g.

  • Feasibility: Check conditions

Famous SRGs

Petersen: srg(10,3,0,1). Paley(q): srg(q,(q-1)/2,(q-5)/4,(q-1)/4) for prime power q≡1(4). Kneser K(5,2): srg(10,3,0,1)=Petersen. Clebsch: srg(16,5,0,2). Schläfli: srg(27,16,10,8).

Feasibility Conditions

Necessary: k(k-λ-1)=μ(n-k-1). Eigenvalues r,s = (λ-μ ± √((λ-μ)²+4(k-μ)))/2 must give integer multiplicities f,g where f+g=n-1. The Krein conditions and absolute bound further restrict parameters.

Strongly Regular Graph Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions

Why are SRGs important?+

They connect graph theory, algebra, and combinatorics. Their adjacency algebra has dimension 3. They construct error-correcting codes, block designs, and finite geometries. Many open existence questions remain.

What's the Petersen graph's SRG?+

srg(10,3,0,1): 10 vertices, 3-regular, no triangles (λ=0), every non-adjacent pair has exactly 1 common neighbor (μ=1). Eigenvalues: 3 (×1), 1 (×5), -2 (×4). One of the most important graphs in math.

When is existence known?+

For many parameter sets: existence is open! For (n,k,λ,μ), feasibility conditions are necessary but not sufficient. The smallest open case was (65,32,15,16) until recently. Exhaustive search and algebraic constructions are used.
