Schurian Scheme


A Schurian scheme is an association scheme whose relations are the orbitals of a transitive permutation group acting on the underlying set. More generally, a coherent configuration is Schurian when its relations are the orbitals of a permutation group. The group is transitive exactly when the coherent configuration is homogeneous.
