On the -polynomial property of the full bipartite graph of a Hamming graph

Blas Fernández, Roghayeh Maleki, Štefko Miklavič +1

The -polynomial property is an algebraic property of distance-regular graphs, that was introduced by Delsarte in his study of coding theory. Many distance-regular graphs admit t…
