===Geodetic graphs=== Every strongly regular graph with <math>\mu = 1</math> is a [[geodetic graph]], a graph in which every two vertices have a unique [[Shortest path problem|unweighted shortest path]].<ref name=bb>{{citation | last1 = Blokhuis | first1 = A. | last2 = Brouwer | first2 = A.

These are called the Moore graphs and are [[#The Hoffman–Singleton theorem|explored below in more detail]]. Other combinations of parameters such as (400, 21, 2, 1) have not yet been ruled out.
