Abstract.
Let Y=(X,{R i }0≤i≤D) denote a symmetric association scheme with D≥3, and assume Y is not an ordinary cycle. Suppose Y is bipartite P-polynomial with respect to the given ordering A 0, A 1,…, A D of the associate matrices, and Q-polynomial with respect to the ordering E 0, E 1,…,E D of the primitive idempotents. Then the eigenvalues and dual eigenvalues satisfy exactly one of (i)–(iv).
(i)
(ii) D is even, and
(iii) θ* 0>θ0, and
(iv) θ* 0>θ0, D is odd, and
