Let
G be a group of finite order and
D
0 = {e},
D
1,...,
D
d
be a partition of
G. Suppose
{d
–1|d
[`(D)]i ,[`(D)]j = åk = 0d pijk [`(D)]k\bar D_i ,\bar D_j = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^d {p_{ij}^k } \bar D_k
for all
i, j where
[`(D)]m , = åg Î Dm g Î \mathbbC[G]\bar D_m , = \sum\limits_{g \in D_m } g \in \mathbb{C}[G]
. Then the subalgebra spanned by
[`(D)]0 ,[`(D)]1 , ¼,[`(D)]d\bar D_0 ,\bar D_1 , \ldots ,\bar D_d
is called a Schur ring over
G. It is known that such a partition
D
0,
D
1,...,
D
d
can be used to construct an association scheme of class
d. In this paper, we obtain a complete classification for the case when
G is cyclic and
d = 3. The result corresponds to a complete classification of cyclic association schemes of class three.
