    Abstract

    We characterize optimaal bipartitet expander graphs and give nessecary and sufficient conditions for optimality. We determine the expansion parameters of the BIBD graphs and show that they yield optimal expander graphs and also bipartitet Ramanujan graphs. in particular, we show that the bipartite graphs derived from finite projective and affine geometries yield optimal Ramanujan graphs. This in turn leads to a theoretical explanation of the good performance of a class of LDPC codes.
