Abstract

In a previous paper (see [7]) we found that given a distance regular e-latticed graph γ we can associate with it a completely regular code C. We used this in order to solve a conjecture given by Bannai in [1].

In the present paper we introduce the propelinear code structure with the aim of studying the algebraic structure of completely regular codes (not necessarily linear) associated with distance-regular e-latticed graphs.

We give the basic properties of this structure. We construct, from a propelinear code C, an associate graph Ω(C) and we prove that C is a completely regular code if and only if Ω(C) is a distance-regular graph.
