Up to now only the dis tance regular graphs of valency 3 have been classified, viz. In both the graphs, all the vertices have degree 2. For more information on distanceregular graphs, see. For random walks on finite graphs, we record some equalities, inequalities and limit theorems as the size of graph tends to infinity which hold for vertextransitive graphs but not for general regular graphs.

Distance regular graphs and halved joe hemmeter let g be a bipartite distance regular graph with bipartition v g xu y. Distance regular graphs are graphs with a lot of combinatorial symmetry, in the sense that given an arbitrary ordered pair of vertices at distance h, the number of vertices that are at distance ifrom the rst vertex and distance jfrom the second is a constant i. Jones leaves home and travels to work at a steady speed mr. So a 2 regular graph is a graph where every vertex has degree 2.

Several other important regular combinatorial structures are then shown to be equivalent to special families of distance regular graphs. Let g x and, for x and y in x, let be adjacent to y g if only is of distance two from y in g.
