On the multiplicities of the primitive idempotents of a Q-polynomial distance-regular graph
Ito, Tanabe and Terwilliger recently introduced the notion of a tridiagonal pair. We apply their results to distance-regular graphs and obtain the following theorem. THEOREM. Let Γ denote a distance-regular graph with diameter D ≥ 3. Suppose Γ is Q-polynomial with respect to the ordering E0, E1,...,...
