An inequality involving the second largest and smallest eigenvalue of a distance-regular graph

Abstract

For a distance-regular graph with second largest eigenvalue (resp. smallest eigenvalue) μ1 (resp. μD) we show that (μ1+1)(μD+1)<= -b1 holds, where equality only holds when the diameter equals two. Using this inequality we study distance-regular graphs with fixed second largest eigenvalue.
