Zara [European J. Combin. 5 (1984), 255–290]) can be weakened to the following axiom:(Z) every maximal clique is regular in the sense of A. Neumaier [in “Finite Geometries and Designs” (P. J. Cameron, J. W. P. Hirschfeld, and D. R. Hugues, Eds.), pp. 244–259, Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge, U. K., 1981] (i.e., given a maximal clique, every vertex outside it is adjacent to the same number of vertices in it).Previous article in issueNext article in issueRecommended articlesCited by (0)Copyright © 1990 Published by Elsevier Inc.
