Abstract

We characterize theassociation schemes from affine spaces as the association schemesin which all relations are equivalence relations (when unitedwith the identity relation). The schemes from affine spaces ofdimension at least three are counterexamples of a conjectureof A. V. Ivanov [Problem 1.3]I on amorphic schemes.
