For an integer m≥1, let S={1,2,…,2m+1}. Denote by 2.Om+1 the Doubled Odd graph on S with vertex set X:=(Sm)∪(Sm+1). By folding this graph, one can obtain a new graph called Odd graph Om+1 with vertex set X:=(Sm). In this paper, we shall study the Terwilliger algebras of 2.Om+1 and Om+1. We first consider the case of Om+1. With respect to any fixed vertex x0∈X, let A:=A(x0) denote the centralizer algebra of the stabilizer of x0 in the automorphism group of Om+1, and T:=T(x0) the Terwilliger algebra of Om+1. For the algebras A and T: (i) we construct a basis of A by the stabilizer of x0 acting on X×X, compute its dimension and show that A=T; (ii) for m≥3, we give all the isomorphism classes of irreducible T-modules and display the decomposition of T in a block-diagonal form (up to isomorphism). These results together with the relations between 2.Om+1 and Om+1 allow us to further study the corresponding centralizer algebra and Terwilliger algebra for 2.Om+1. Consequently, the results in the above (i), (ii) for Om+1 can be similarly generalized to the case of 2.Om+1; moreover, we define three subalgebras of the Terwilliger algebra of 2.Om+1 such that their direct sum is just this algebra.
