[docs]def is_distance_regular(G):
"""Returns True if the graph is distance regular, False otherwise.

A connected graph G is distance-regular if for any nodes x,y
and any integers i,j=0,1,...,d (where d is the graph
diameter), the number of vertices at distance i from x and
distance j from y depends only on i,j and the graph distance
between x and y, independently of the choice of x and y.

Parameters
----------
G: Networkx graph (undirected)

Returns
-------
bool
True if the graph is Distance Regular, False otherwise

Examples
--------
>>> G=nx.hypercube_graph(6)
>>> nx.is_distance_regular(G)
True

--------
intersection_array, global_parameters

Notes
-----
For undirected and simple graphs only

[docs]def global_parameters(b,c):
"""Return global parameters for a given intersection array.

Given a distance-regular graph G with integers b_i, c_i,i = 0,....,d
such that for any 2 vertices x,y in G at a distance i=d(x,y), there
are exactly c_i neighbors of y at a distance of i-1 from x and b_i
neighbors of y at a distance of i+1 from x.

Thus, a distance regular graph has the global parameters,
[[c_0,a_0,b_0],[c_1,a_1,b_1],......,[c_d,a_d,b_d]] for the
intersection array  [b_0,b_1,.....b_{d-1};c_1,c_2,.....c_d]
where a_i+b_i+c_i=k , k= degree of every vertex.

Parameters
----------
b,c: tuple of lists

Returns
-------
p : list of three-tuples

Examples
--------
>>> G=nx.dodecahedral_graph()
>>> b,c=nx.intersection_array(G)
>>> list(nx.global_parameters(b,c))
[(0, 0, 3), (1, 0, 2), (1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 1), (2, 0, 1), (3, 0, 0)]
