A graph is 3-e.c. if for every 3-element subset S of the vertices, and for every subset T of S, there is a vertex not in S which is joined to every vertex in T and to no vertex in S \ T. Although almost all graphs are 3-e.c., the only known examples of strongly regular 3-e.c. graphs are Paley graphs with at least 29 vertices. We construct a new infinite family of 3-e.c. graphs, based on certain...

In this note we introduce a new equivalence relation θ∗ on a (semi)hyperring R and we show that it is strongly regular. Also we prove that, R/θ∗, the equivalence class of this equivalence relation under usual operations consists a commutative (semi-)ring. Finally we introduce the notion of θ-parts of hyperrings and investigate the important properties of them. Mathematics Subject Classification...

As the main result of this paper it is proved that an interval matrix [Ac −∆, Ac +∆] is strongly regular if and only if the matrix inequality M(I − |I − RAc| − |R|∆) ≥ I has a solution, where M and R are real square matrices and M is nonnegative. Several consequences of this result are drawn.

In this article we construct a series of new infinite families of strongly regular graphs with the same parameters as the point-graphs of non-singular quadrics in PG(n, 2). We study these graphs, describing and counting their maximal cliques, and determining their automorphism groups.

A partial difference set having parameters (n2, r(n − 1), n + r2 − 3r, r2 − r) is called a Latin square type partial difference set, while a partial difference set having parameters (n2, r(n + 1),−n + r2 + 3r, r2 + r) is called a negative Latin square type partial difference set. In this paper, we generalize well-known negative Latin square type partial difference sets derived from the theory o...

We survey recent results on constructions of difference sets and strongly regular Cayley graphs by using union of cyclotomic classes of finite fields. Several open problems are raised.

It is known that a linear two-weight code C over a finite field Fq corresponds both to a multiset in a projective space over Fq that meets every hyperplane in either a or b points for some integers a < b , and to a strongly regular graph whose vertices may be identified with the codewords of C . Here we extend this classical result to the case of a ring-linear code with exactly two nonzero homo...

We show that regular homogeneous two-weight Z pk -codes where p is odd and k > 2 with dual Hamming distance at least four do not exist. The proof relies on existence conditions for the strongly regular graph built on the cosets of the dual code.

We describe and analyze a new construction that produces new Eulerian lattices from old ones. It specializes to a construction that produces new strongly regular cellular spheres (whose face lattices are Eulerian). The construction does not always specialize to convex polytopes; however, in a number of cases where we can realize it, it produces interesting classes of polytopes. Thus we produce ...

We investigate properties of two-weight codes over finite Frobenius rings, giving constructions for the modular case. A δ-modular code [15] is characterized as having a generator matrix where each column g appears with multiplicity δ|gR×| for some δ ∈ Q. Generalizing [10] and [5], we show that the additive group of a two-weight code satisfying certain constraint equations (and in particular a m...
