Abstract

For strongly regular graphs ith adjacency matrix A, we look at the binary codes generated by A and A + I. We determine these codes for some families of graphs, e pay attention to the relation beteen the codes of switching equivalent graphs and, ith the exception of two parameter sets, we generate by computer the codes of all knon strongly regular graphs on fewer than 45 vertices.
