Nonexistence of DSRG(86,38,37,16,17) and DSRG(86,47,46,25,26)

1. Result and contribution

A directed strongly regular graph (DSRG) with parameters $(v,k,t,\lambda,\mu)$ has a zero-one adjacency matrix $A$ with zero diagonal satisfying

$$ AJ=JA=kJ,\qquad A^2=(t-\mu)I+(\lambda-\mu)A+\mu J. $$

We use the standard definition of Duval [1]. The Hobart–Brouwer table [2], checked on 27 October 2026, marks the following complementary parameter sets as open.

Theorem 1. No DSRG has parameters $(86,38,37,16,17)$ or $(86,47,46,25,26)$.

The proof applies to every graph with these parameters. It makes no assumption about automorphisms, a Cayley representation, or a construction family. Since every vertex has exactly one outgoing and one incoming nonreciprocal arc, these arcs form a permutation. We exclude every possible cycle type of this permutation.

The proof combines a quotient on the kernel of the skew part with two small Fourier sectors. Three ingredients are especially useful beyond the enumeration itself:

1. A congruence argument excludes any residual type with exactly two 4-cycles.
2. A five-dimensional Gaussian Gram matrix excludes the five-4-cycle types, including a square completion problem reduced to a graph of maximum clique size three.
3. A four-dimensional corner over $\mathbb Z[\zeta_8]$ forces the remaining mixed $24/8$ sector to have a scalar Gram matrix. Its diagonal completion is impossible in a finite calculation of 819,200 small blocks.

All finite searches are exhaustive and use exact integer arithmetic. The supplement rebuilds the cycle coverage and contains independently checked Gaussian and eighth-root calculations. A short program runs the complete verification with Python's standard library and a C++17 compiler.

2. Prior work and distinction

The one-way permutation, chord alternation, equitable kernel partition, and Fourier windows for $t=k-1$ and $\mu-\lambda=1$ were developed in [3,4] and consolidated, with proofs, in Theorem 13 of [5]. We use those structural results and give the specialized formulas needed here. Their order-30 nonexistence proofs do not settle order 86. The order-54 construction [6] supplies a nearby positive control for the kernel equations; its existence also shows that the structural reduction does not imply nonexistence throughout this parameter family.

The survey [5] reduces order 86 to 38 cycle types by exact Fourier tests on cycles of length at most 48. In the public discussion [7], teichmuller_lift and orbitwright developed the relevant sector alphabets and reported matching exact searches for the mixed type $3^2 24^2 12\,8^2 4$. Their reported search counts were 76,568, 563,144, and zero at successive levels. We credit that sector choice and the alphabet observations. Their search programs are not premises of our proof. Our replacement starts at the two 8-cycles, obtains a scalar Gram matrix, and excludes even one possible 24-cycle diagonal block. The five-4-cycle obstruction was first shared by the present author in the same discussion.

The new conclusion is unrestricted nonexistence at order 86. To make coverage independently inspectable, the supplement also rebuilds the cycle list directly from all 1,146 partitions into 3-cycles and multiples of four. It does not require the survey's computed 38-type list, the discussion's quotient solver verdicts, or a floating-point Fourier test. A separate reproduction of [5]'s published enumeration gives the same 17 residual types after the kernel row test.

3. The permutation and two exact identities

Assume that a graph with parameters $(86,38,37,16,17)$ exists. Write

$$ A=U+P, $$

where $U=U^{\mathsf T}$ is its reciprocal adjacency matrix and $P$ is the permutation matrix of the one-way arcs. The permutation has no cycles of length one or two. Set

$$ H=2U+P+P^{\mathsf T}+I,\quad K=P-P^{\mathsf T},\quad W=J-H. $$

Since $(2A+I)^2=81I+68J$, taking its symmetric and skew parts gives

$$ HK+KH=0,\qquad H^2+K^2=81I+68J. \tag{1} $$

Also $H\mathbf1=77\mathbf1$, so

$$ W\mathbf1=9\mathbf1,\qquad WK+KW=0,\qquad W^2+K^2=81I. \tag{2} $$

The matrix $W$ is symmetric. Its entries are zero on the diagonal and on one-way pairs; all other entries are $\pm1$.

For a cycle of length $L\ge4$, label its vertices by $x\in\mathbb Z_L$ in the direction of $P$. Chord alternation [4,5] gives

$$ U(x,x+d)=\frac{1+(-1)^x\varepsilon_d}{2},\qquad \varepsilon_d\in\{\pm1\},\qquad \varepsilon_{L-d}=(-1)^d\varepsilon_d, \tag{3} $$

for $2\le d\le L-2$. Consequently every cycle has length three or a multiple of four. In particular the number $a$ of 3-cycles satisfies $a\equiv2\pmod4$.

Here and below, $M^*$ means conjugate transpose, and $\overline M$ means entrywise conjugation.

3.1. The kernel quotient

The kernel of $K$ consists of vectors constant on the orbits of $P^2$. A triangle gives one cell of size three; an $L$-cycle divisible by four gives its two parity cells, each of size $s=L/2$. By (2) this partition is equitable for $W$. Its quotient $Q$ satisfies

$$ Q\mathbf1=9\mathbf1,\qquad Q^2=81I,\qquad w_iQ_{ij}=w_jQ_{ji}. \tag{4} $$

A triangle's internal entry is zero. On a longer cycle, (3) gives the internal quotient

$$ \begin{pmatrix}d&0\\0&-d\end{pmatrix}, \qquad d\in\{1-s,3-s,\ldots,s-1\}. \tag{5} $$

Indeed, the two parity diagonal sums are opposite. Among the opposite-parity chords, $\varepsilon_{L-d}=-\varepsilon_d$, so their $W$ sums cancel; the two one-way entries are zero.

For different cycles, put $g=\gcd(w_i,w_j)$. Weighted symmetry, the sign entries, and their parity imply

$$ Q_{ij}=\frac{w_j}{g}z,\qquad Q_{ji}=\frac{w_i}{g}z, \qquad z\equiv g\pmod2,\quad |z|\le g. \tag{6} $$

Each such variable contributes $(w_iw_j/g^2)z^2$ to $(Q^2)_{ii}$. In particular all these contributions are nonnegative. Testing whether the allowed contributions in one row can simultaneously have sum 9 and square sum 81 is an exact finite necessary condition. The verifier uses bitsets of reachable integer sums at each square sum. It imposes no unproved relations between different rows.

3.2. Fourier Gram matrices

Let $\kappa\ne0$ be a purely imaginary eigenvalue of $K$, and let the columns of $E$ be unnormalized Fourier vectors spanning its eigenspace, with

$$ E^*E=\Lambda=\operatorname{diag}(L_1,\ldots,L_m). $$

The real symmetric matrix $H$ maps this eigenspace to its conjugate. Thus the complex symmetric matrix $G=E^{\mathsf T}HE$ satisfies

$$ G\Lambda^{-1}G^*=\rho\Lambda, \qquad \rho=81-\kappa^2. \tag{7} $$

This follows either by expressing $HE$ in the basis $\overline E$, or by applying (1) to $E$; $JE=0$. We use $\rho=85$ for $\kappa=2i$, and $\rho=83$ for $\kappa=i\sqrt2$. Changing the sign of the chosen eigenspace conjugates all formulas and has no effect on the arguments.

4. Exhaustive cycle coverage

Two elementary bounds from [5, Theorem 13] are useful. First, $L\le77$ for a long cycle, and

$$ \sum_{L\ge4}\frac{L(77-L)}2 \ \ge\ 3a\max(0,37-3(a-1)). \tag{8} $$

The sum runs over cycles with multiplicity. It counts available reciprocal incidences from the long cycles, while the right side is a lower bound on incidences from triangles to long cycles. Second, for any triangle, other cycles with length divisible by three contain at least 63 vertices. Thus

$$ \sum_{3\mid L}L-3\ge63. \tag{9} $$

Starting with all partitions of 86 into 3 and multiples of four, (8)–(9) leave 155 of the 1,146 types. The row test of (4)–(6) leaves 61.

For a unique carrier of a primitive $L$th-root frequency, (3) and (7) require

$$ f(\zeta_L)\overline{f(\zeta_L)} =83-\zeta_L^2-\zeta_L^{-2},\qquad f(\zeta_L)=\sum_{d=2}^{L-2}\varepsilon_d\zeta_L^d. \tag{10} $$

“Unique carrier” means that exactly one cycle length in the type is divisible by $L$. Since $4\mid L$, the other frequency with the same sine has the same primitive order $L$, so this condition covers both possible partners.

For $L=8,16,24,36,48$, (10) has no solution. Here is the entire finite calculation used to establish this. Separate the independent even and odd chords:

$$ \begin{aligned} E_L&=\varepsilon_{L/2}\zeta_L^{L/2} +\sum_{\substack{2\le d<L/2\\d\text{ even}}} \varepsilon_d(\zeta_L^d+\zeta_L^{-d}),\\ O_L&=\sum_{\substack{3\le d<L/2\\d\text{ odd}}} \varepsilon_d(\zeta_L^d-\zeta_L^{-d}). \end{aligned} $$

The first sum is real and the second purely imaginary, so the left side of (10) is $E_L^2-O_L^2$. Enumerate the two independent sign sums, reduce exactly modulo the cyclotomic polynomial, square, and join their coefficient vectors. The polynomial is rebuilt from the proper divisors of $x^L-1$.

| $L$ | Independent even / odd signs | Distinct even / odd sums | Distinct even / odd squares | Matches | |---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| |8|2 / 1|2 / 2|1 / 1|0| |16|4 / 3|6 / 6|3 / 3|0| |24|6 / 5|12 / 14|6 / 7|0| |36|9 / 8|76 / 70|38 / 35|0| |48|12 / 11|228 / 266|114 / 133|0|

This covers all $2^{L/2-1}$ chord assignments for each length; it does not approximate a root of unity. Applying these five tests leaves exactly the following 17 types. The entries give cycle multiplicities, and the final column identifies their exclusion below.

|3|4|8|12|24|Exclusion| |---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---| |10|5|0|3|0|Gaussian rank| |10|2|0|4|0|Two-4-cycle congruence| |6|5|0|4|0|Gaussian rank| |6|5|0|0|2|Gaussian rank| |6|3|1|0|2|Eighth-root congruence| |6|2|0|5|0|Two-4-cycle congruence| |6|2|0|1|2|Two-4-cycle congruence| |6|1|2|4|0|Eighth-root norm bound| |2|5|0|5|0|Gaussian completion| |2|5|0|1|2|Gaussian rank| |2|3|1|1|2|Eighth-root congruence| |2|2|0|6|0|Two-4-cycle congruence| |2|2|0|2|2|Two-4-cycle congruence| |2|1|2|5|0|Eighth-root norm bound| |2|1|2|1|2|Eighth-root completion| |2|0|1|2|2|Eighth-root congruence| |2|0|1|0|3|Eighth-root congruence|

The supplement records an exclusion reason for every initial partition. In particular, the 60- and 72-cycle possibilities are already excluded by the kernel row test; no large-cycle numerical window is required.

5. A congruence obstruction for exactly two 4-cycles

Lemma 2. A residual type with exactly two 4-cycles and all other cycles of length three or divisible by twelve is impossible.

Proof. Consider a parity cell of one 4-cycle. Its diagonal is $d=\pm1$. Each triangle contributes 6 to its square sum in (4). A parity cell from an $L$-cycle with $12\mid L$ contributes either zero or $L$, by (6), and therefore contributes zero modulo 12. Let $x,y\in\{0,\pm2\}$ be the entries to the two cells of the other 4-cycle. Since $a\equiv2\pmod4$,

$$ 81\equiv1+6a+x^2+y^2\pmod{12} $$

forces $x^2+y^2=8$. Thus $|x|=|y|=2$.

The contributions to the ordinary row sum from the long cycles are multiples of 6. The $a$ triangle entries are $\pm3$ and $a$ is even, so their total is also a multiple of 6. Therefore

$$ d+x+y\equiv9\pmod6. $$

If $d=-1$, this forces $x=y=2$; if $d=1$, it forces $x=y=-2$. The two parity diagonals of a 4-cycle are opposite. Its $2\times2$ quotient block to the other 4-cycle must consequently have constant rows of opposite signs. Since all four cell sizes equal two, the reverse block is its transpose. Each row of that transpose has opposite signs, contradicting the same necessary condition for the second cycle. $\square$

This proves all five exclusions marked by this lemma in the table. As independent checks, the supplement also gives five short domain-removal traces, with respectively 6, 6, 2, 2, and 2 steps. A separate bitset verifier checks every removal. These traces use only row equations, not extra local block-profile assumptions.

6. The five-4-cycle Gaussian corner

In the $2i$ sector, each cycle divisible by four contributes one mode. Let

$$ D=\{a+bi:a,b\in\{-1,0,1\}\}. $$

A 4-cycle's diagonal sector entry is $\pm4$. Its entry to another 4-cycle belongs to $8D$. Its entry to an $L$-cycle divisible by twelve belongs to $2LD$. These necessary alphabets follow directly by projecting a sign block on the four columns: its first-row coefficient is in $2D$, and symmetry multiplies it by $L$. Direct binary enumeration gives the same alphabets.

Rotate the five 4-cycles so their diagonal entries are all $+4$. Their corner is $4C$, where

$$ C=C^{\mathsf T},\qquad C_{ii}=1,\qquad C_{ij}\in2D\quad(i\ne j). $$

For every other nontriangular cycle of length $L$, write its row to the corner as $2Lb_L$, with $b_L\in D^5$. The bottom part of (7) is

$$ F:=\frac{85I-CC^*}{12} =\sum_L\frac{L}{12}\,b_L^{\mathsf T}\overline{b_L}. \tag{11} $$

Hence $F$ is an integral Gaussian Hermitian Gram matrix, with rank no larger than the number of other nontriangular cycles.

6.1. Complete corner catalogue

Because $C_{ij}$ is even off the diagonal, $CC^*-I$ is divisible by four. Integrality of $F$ is therefore equivalent to $CC^*=I$ modulo three. There are nine possibilities for each of the ten independent off-diagonal entries after division by two.

One program normalizes residual signs on the first row and sorts that row by permutations of the other four coordinates. Its first-row alphabet is $\{0,1,i,1+i,1-i\}$, giving 70 multisets. It then completes every remaining entry. A second program uses all nine choices on every edge and no symmetry reduction until after enumeration. It finds 625 corners; their normalized set is precisely the same 57 representatives. The second program's completed-row counts are 2,241, 64,233, 34,449, 3,873, and 625.

An integer-pair determinant audit obtains:

|$\det F$|Number of representatives| |---:|---:| |3024|18| |3125|4| |7203|9| |8575|25| |16807|1|

Every determinant is nonzero. Four of the five relevant types have fewer than five other nontriangular cycles and are excluded by (11).

6.2. The square case

The remaining type is $3^2 12^5 4^5$. Write

$$ G=\begin{pmatrix}12A&24B\\24B^{\mathsf T}&4C\end{pmatrix}, \qquad B\in D^{5\times5}. $$

Then $F=B^{\mathsf T}\overline B$, so $\det F$ must be a Gaussian norm. Only 3125 in the table is a sum of two integer squares; each other value has an odd exponent at a prime congruent to three modulo four. In its four corners $F=5I$, hence $B^*B=BB^*=5I$. The mixed equation in (7) gives

$$ A\overline B+BC^*=0, \qquad A=-\frac{BC^*B^{\mathsf T}}5. \tag{12} $$

The diagonal 12-cycle alphabet for $A$ is

$$ \{\pm1,\pm3,\pm5\}+i\{0,\pm4\}, \tag{13} $$

obtained by all 32 internal chord assignments in (3). The audit also derives it independently by rational elimination on the original sign entries. An off-diagonal entry of $A$ is an even Gaussian integer, since it is a first-row Fourier sum of signs (or twice a binary row sum).

There are 8,064 rows $b\in D^5$ of squared norm five. For each surviving $C$, the diagonal condition in (12) leaves 144 rows. Join two rows when they are Hermitian orthogonal and their mixed entry from (12) is an even Gaussian integer. The resulting graph consists of 84 isolated vertices and five copies of $K_{4,4,4}$. In particular its maximum clique has size three, while five rows are needed. The audit checks every pair, every triangle's common neighbors, and this component description. This excludes the last five-4-cycle type.

7. The eighth-root sector

Put $\zeta=e^{\pi i/4}$ and work in

$$ R=\mathbb Z[\zeta]=\mathbb Z[x]/(x^4+1). $$

The modes with frequencies $\pi/4$ and $3\pi/4$ give two coordinates per 8- or 24-cycle in the eigenspace with eigenvalue $i\sqrt2$. None of the other lengths in the residual table contributes. Complex conjugation acts on coefficient vectors by

$$ \overline{(a,b,c,d)}=(a,-d,-c,-b). $$

We normalize an internal $L$-cycle block by dividing its Fourier block by $L$. Equation (3) gives

$$ \mathcal D_8=\left\{\begin{pmatrix}0&f\\f&0\end{pmatrix}: f=\pm1\pm i\sqrt2\right\}, \tag{14} $$

and

$$ \mathcal D_{24}=\left\{\begin{pmatrix}0&f\\f&0\end{pmatrix}: f=a+bi\sqrt2,\ a,b\in\{\pm1,\pm3,\pm5\}\right\}. \tag{15} $$

There are four and 36 values, respectively. For example the real coefficient at length 24 is a sum of two independent signed twos and one signed one; the imaginary coefficient is a sum of five independent signs. Direct projection of all 8 and 2,048 internal binary blocks verifies (14)–(15).

7.1. Complete cross alphabet

An inter-cycle sign block $T$ satisfies $K_nT+TK_m=0$. For $n,m$ divisible by four, Fourier matching shows that its entries are periodic with period $g=\gcd(n,m)$ in both coordinates: the nonzero matching roots satisfy $\beta=\alpha^{-1}$ or $\beta=-\alpha$, and both roots then have order dividing $g$. The same conclusion includes the zero modes.

On a $g\times g$ block the general real solution is

$$ T_{xy}=f(x+y)+(-1)^x h(x-y). \tag{16} $$

This can also be checked directly in the recurrence; its dimension $2g-2$ equals the Fourier kernel dimension. On the parity class $x+y\equiv p\pmod2$, write $x+y=2r+p$ and $x-y=2s+p$. Multiplication by $(-1)^r$ makes (16) an additive matrix $a_r+b_s$. A sign matrix of this form has either all rows constant or all columns constant: if two row parameters differ, the two possible signs force every column parameter to be the same. Thus, on each parity class, all solutions are

$$ T_{xy}=\sigma_{(x+y-p)/2} \quad\hbox{or}\quad T_{xy}=(-1)^x\tau_{(x-y-p)/2}, \tag{17} $$

with arbitrary sign vectors indexed modulo $g/2$. Their intersection has two elements. For $g=8$ there are $2\cdot2^4-2=30$ solutions per parity, and 900 complete sign blocks.

Projecting these 900 blocks gives a set $\mathcal A$ of 289 normalized $2\times2$ matrices. The normalization is eight for an $8\times8$ Fourier block and 24 for a $24\times8$ block, since the latter repeats the former three times. For an explicit description, $\mathcal A$ is the sum of either of the following even pieces and either odd piece:

$$ \begin{pmatrix}z&0\\0&\overline z\end{pmatrix} \ \hbox{or}\ \begin{pmatrix}0&\overline z\\z&0\end{pmatrix}, \qquad z\in2D, $$$$ \begin{pmatrix}w&0\\0&-\overline w\end{pmatrix} \ \hbox{or}\ \begin{pmatrix}0&-\overline w\\w&0\end{pmatrix}, \qquad w\in2\zeta D. \tag{18} $$

Each parity set has 17 elements. The standalone checker constructs the original 900 sign blocks by (17), projects them directly, and deduplicates; it does not import a saved alphabet. A separate Python implementation verifies equality with (18) and the mixed-length scaling.

Each row of a matrix in $\mathcal A$ has squared norm at most 32. Each parity piece has one entry in a row and squared norm at most eight. If the pieces occupy different entries the sum is at most 16; if they occupy the same entry, the triangle inequality gives at most $(\sqrt8+\sqrt8)^2=32$.

7.2. Six immediate exclusions

If there is exactly one 8-cycle, its normalized diagonal $C_8$ satisfies $C_8C_8^*=3I_2$. All other carriers have length 24, so its diagonal equation in (7) is

$$ 3\sum B_j^{\mathsf T}\overline{B_j}+3I_2=83I_2, \qquad B_j\in\mathcal A. \tag{19} $$

The constant coefficient of 80 is not divisible by three in the integral basis of $R$, a contradiction. This excludes four types.

If there are exactly two 8-cycles and no 24-cycles, a diagonal entry of their sector square is at most $3+32=35$, contradicting 83. This excludes two more types.

7.3. The remaining mixed type

Only $3^2 24^2 12\,8^2 4$ remains. Order the two 24-cycles first and the two 8-cycles second. Equation (7) has the form

$$ G=\begin{pmatrix}24A&24B\\24B^{\mathsf T}&8C\end{pmatrix}, \qquad \Lambda=\operatorname{diag}(24I_4,8I_4), $$

so

$$ AA^*+3BB^*=83I_4,\qquad 3B^{\mathsf T}\overline B+CC^*=83I_4,\qquad A\overline B+BC^*=0. \tag{20} $$

The two diagonal blocks of $C$ belong to $\mathcal D_8$, and its cross block belongs to $\mathcal A$. This gives exactly $4^2\cdot289=4,624$ corners, with no symmetry reduction. Only 64 have $83I-CC^*$ divisible by three in $R$. Every one of these satisfies

$$ CC^*=11I_4, \qquad B^{\mathsf T}\overline B=24I_4. \tag{21} $$

Thus $B^*B=BB^*=24I_4$, and (20) forces

$$ A=-\frac{BC^*B^{\mathsf T}}{24}. \tag{22} $$

Let $D$ be the first two rows of $B$. Its two $2\times2$ blocks belong to $\mathcal A$, and $DD^*=24I_2$. Among all $289^2=83,521$ block pairs, exactly 12,800 satisfy that equation. For every retained $C$ and every such $D$, the top diagonal block of $A$ would have to be

$$ -\frac{DC^*D^{\mathsf T}}{24}\in\mathcal D_{24}. \tag{23} $$

There are no such pairs. The exact counts in two implementations are:

|Test|Count| |---|---:| |Retained $C$ corners|64| |Allowed block rows $D$|12,800| |Pairs tested in (23)|819,200| |Numerators with zero diagonal|53,248| |Such numerators divisible by 24|24,576| |Blocks in $\mathcal D_{24}$|0|

The supplement's standalone C++ audit regenerates (14), (15), and $\mathcal A$ from binary blocks, performs all Gram tests, and checks (23) using four integer coefficients. This is a complete finite obstruction to the mixed type, and finishes the first parameter set in Theorem 1. Complementation gives the second. $\square$

8. Verification, scope, and reproducibility

From the extracted supplement directory, run:

python3 run_all.py

Requirements are Python 3 and a C++17 compiler available as g++. The core verifier uses only the Python standard library. At most five CPU processes are used by the independent Gaussian catalogue; other checks are sequential. No GPU, external solver, random seed, floating-point decision, or private data is used. The complete check is small enough to rerun during review.

The program rebuilds all 1,146 cycle partitions, applies the explicit bounds and exact joins, regenerates the Gaussian catalogue by two paths, checks its determinants and row compatibility graphs, replays the five auxiliary kernel certificates, independently regenerates the eighth-root obstruction, and verifies the final 17-case ledger. Results are written to results/. The stored graph control is rebuilt from its sign matrix and checked against the complete DSRG equation before its quotient is tested.

Controls include an actual DSRG$(54,23,22,9,10)$, a planted Gaussian Gram identity at square weight 49, and 64 planted eighth-root identities at square weight 23. For the latter, take a retained $C$ with $CC^*=11I$, $B=2I$, and $A=-\overline C$; these satisfy the analogue of (20) with 83 replaced by 23, and their forced diagonal blocks are legal. The sector controls are algebraic controls, not claims to construct new graphs. No positive complete graph with 8-cycles is asserted.

The finite steps are executable exact proofs rather than a proof-assistant formalization. Their mathematical coverage is specified above, and independent computations check the two decisive corner calculations. The kernel congruence proof in Section 5 does not depend on its auxiliary computational traces. The result settles precisely the complementary pair in Theorem 1; it does not settle the other open order-86 parameter sets or all members of the family with $t=k-1$.

All original code and data in the supplement are released under the MIT license. The positive graph was independently reconstructed by the author using the public structure and construction of [6]; its use is credited there and in the supplement.
