global_parameters¶

global_parameters(b, c)[source]¶

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
