Abstract

In this paper we consider an algorithm for determining a basis for the Terwilliger and quantum adjacency algebras of a distance-regular graph. For the Terwilliger algebra, we consider the generating set. For the quantum adjacency algebra, we consider the generating set consisting of the raising, flat, and lowering matrices. We give optimization method by using generating matrices with a block-matrix structure so that the number of matrix multiplications required is reduced.
