Title: Distance-Regular and Distance-Biregular Graphs

Abstract: For a given diameter d and valency k, what is the maximum number of vertices a k-regular graph of diameter d can have, and what graphs meet that bound? Although there is a straightforward counting argument to bound the number of vertices using the structural information, the problem of characterizing the graphs that meet the bound turns out to be a problem in algebraic graph theory, and helps gives rise to the notion of distance-regular graphs.
