There exists a strongly regular graph with parameters (243,22,1,2)(243,22,1,2)(243,22,1,2).

The Berlekamp–van Lint–Seidel graph is such a graph: its vertices are the 311/36=2433^{11}/3^{6} = 243311/36=243 cosets of the perfect ternary Golay code [11,6,5]3[11,6,5]_3[11,6,5]3​ in F311\mathbb{F}_3^{11}F311​, with two cosets adjacent when their difference contains a vector of Hamming weight 111. Equivalently it is the Cayley graph on F35\mathbb{F}_3^{5}F35​ whose connection set consists of the 222222 syndromes ±hi\pm h_i±hi​ of the weight-one vectors, where h1,…,h11h_1, \dots, h_{11}h1​,…,h11​ are the columns of a parity check matrix of the code. It is the largest member of the family λ=1\lambda = 1λ=1, μ=2\mu = 2μ=2 known to exist, and the only known example that is not the trivial one on 999 vertices.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
