Abstract

Andries Brouwer maintains a public database of existence results for strongly regular graphs on n≤ 1300 vertices. We have implemented most of the infinite families of graphs listed there in the open-source software Sagemath (The Sage Developers, http://www.sagemath.org), as well as provided constructions of the “sporadic” cases, to obtain a graph for each set of parameters with known examples. Besides providing a convenient way to verify these existence results from the actual graphs, it also extends the database to higher values of n.
