Abstract

Starting from an imprimitive action of the group \({\text {PSL}}(2,q)\) we construct a series of the association schemes of rank 2r on \((q+1)r\) points, where r divides \(q-1\). By merging classes in these schemes we obtain several series of interesting schemes, among them P-polynomial schemes related to distance-regular graphs first described by Mathon, and non-commutative schemes of rank 6.
