A directed graph version of strongly regular graphs. (English) Zbl 0642.05025
The paper gives existence and nonexistence conditions of a directed graph version of strongly regular graphs whose adjacency matrices satisfy the equations $A^ 2+(u-v)A-(t-u)I=uJ\quad$
$AJ=JA=kJ$ where A is the adjacency matrix, I the identity matrix, J the matrix of all l’s and u, v, t, k are the parameters. It proves the existence by construction and also constructs homomorphisms for several families of parameter sets.
