Zieschang, Paul-Hermann.

An Algebraic Approach to Association Schemes [electronic resource] / by Paul-Hermann Zieschang. - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1996. - XII, 200 p. online resource. - Lecture Notes in Mathematics, 1628 0075-8434 ; . - Lecture Notes in Mathematics, 1628 .

Basic results -- Decomposition theory -- Algebraic prerequisites -- Representation theory -- Theory of generators.

The primary object of the lecture notes is to develop a treatment of association schemes analogous to that which has been so successful in the theory of finite groups. The main chapters are decomposition theory, representation theory, and the theory of generators. Tits buildings come into play when the theory of generators is developed. Here, the buildings play the role which, in group theory, is played by the Coxeter groups. - The text is intended for students as well as for researchers in algebra, in particular in algebraic combinatorics.
