Abstract

We give some observations on association schemes with a relation of valency 2 from the representation theory of Bose-Mesner algebras and the basic structure theory. One of the applications of these observations is the classification of the association schemes with a nonsymmetric relation of valency 2 if the cardinality of the point set is a product of two primes, and another is the proof of Li's conjecture that any finite simple group is a connected 2-DCI-group.
