COMMUTATIVITY OF ASSOCIATION SCHEMES OF ORDER pq

Let (X, S) be an association scheme where X is a finite set and S is a partition of $X{\times}X$. The size of X is called the order of (X, S). We define $\mathcal{C}$ to be the set of positive integers m such that each association scheme of order $m$ is commutative. It is known that each prime is belonged to $\mathcal{C}$ and it is conjectured that each prime square is belonged to $\mathcal{C}$. In this article we give a sufficient condition for a scheme of order pq to be commutative where $p$ and $q$ are primes, and obtain a partial answer for the conjecture in case where $p=q$.
