Gavrilyuk", "Vladislav V. Kabanov" ], "categories": [ "math.CO" ], "abstract": "In 2022, the second author found a prolific construction of strongly regular graphs, which is based on joining a coclique and a divisible design graph with certain parameters. The construction produces strongly regular graphs with the same parameters as the complement of the symplectic graph $\\mathsf{Sp}(2d,q)$. In this paper, we determine the parameters of strongly regular graphs which admit a decomposition into a divisible design graph and a coclique attaining the Hoffman bound. In particular, it is shown that when the least eigenvalue of such a strongly regular graph is a prime power, its parameters coincide with those of the complement of $\\mathsf{Sp}(2d,q)$. Furthermore, a generalization of the construction is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-06-14T09:01:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "divisible design graph", "strongly regular graphs decomposable", "hoffman coclique", "construction produces strongly regular graphs", "parameters" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
