On the possible volume of $mu$-$(v,k,t)$ trades
A $mu$-way $(v,k,t)$ $trade$ of volume $m$ consists of $mu$ disjoint collections $T_1$, $T_2, dots T_{mu}$, each of $m$ blocks, such that for every $t$-subset of $v$-set $V$ the number of blocks containing this t-subset is the same in each $T_i (1leq i leq mu)$. In other words any pair of collections ${T_i,T_j}$, $1leq i< j leq mu$ is a $(v,k,t)$ trade of volume $m$. In th...
متن کاملClassification of simple 2-(6, 3) and 2-(7, 3) trades
In this paper, we present a complete classification of the simple 2-(v, 3) trades, for v = 6 and 7. For v = 6, up to isomorphism, there are unique trades with volumes 4, 6, and 10 and trades with volumes 7-9 do not exist; for v = 7, up to isomorphism, there exist two trades with volume 6, two trades with volume 7, two trades with volume 9, five trades with volume 10, and only one trade with vol...
متن کاملOn the index of simple trades
A (v, k, i) trade of volume m consists of two disjoint collections Tl and T2 , each of m k-subsets (blocks) of a v-set V, such that each i-subset of V is contained in the same number of blocks of TI and of T2 • A (v, k, i) trade is simple if it has no repeated blocks, and has index i if some i-subset occurs in i blocks of TI but no i-subset occurs in more than i blocks. In this paper we investi...
متن کاملOn the non-existence of Steiner (v, k, 2) trades with certain volumes
In this note, we prove that there does not exist a Steiner (v, k, 2) trade of volume m, where m is odd, 2k + 3 ~ m ~ 3k 4, and k ~ 7. This completes the spectrum problem for Steiner (v, k, 2) trades.
متن کاملTernary trades and their codes
In this paper, the notion of trades over finite fields is introduced. In particular, trades over GF (3) (ternary trades) are studied. By considering the incidence matrix of t-subsets vs. k-subsets of a v-set as a parity check matrix of a ternary code, we obtain a new family of codes in which every codeword is a ternary trade. The spectrum of weights of these codes is discussed; a simple and fas...
