Abstract

One problem with the theory of distance-regular graphs is that it does not apply directly to the graphs of generalised polygons. In this paper we overcome this difficulty by introducing the class of distance-regularised graphs, a natural common generalisation. These graphs are shown to either be distance-regular or fall into a family of bipartite graphs called distance-biregular. This family includes the generalised polygons and other interesting graphs. Despite this increased generality we are also able to extend much of the basic theory of distance-regular graphs to our wider class of graphs.
