The Lower Bound for Number of Hexagons in Strongly Regular Graphs with Parameters $\lambda=1$ and $\mu=2$

Abstract

The existence of $srg(99,14,1,2)$ has been a question of interest for several decades to the moment. In this paper we consider the structural properties in general for the family of strongly regular graphs with parameters $\lambda =1$ and $\mu =2$. In particular, we establish the lower bound for the number of hexagons and, by doing that, we show the connection between the existence of the aforementioned graph and the number of its hexagons.
