The article is concerned with a characterization of quasi-symmetric (QS) designs with intersection numbers 0 and y. It uses the idea of a good block. Such a block G has the property that for any block B with IG n B J = y, every point is on a block containing G n B. It is proved that if a QS design I

Abstract
Huffman and Tonchev discovered four non‐isomorphic quasi‐symmetric 2‐(49,9,6) designs. They arise from extremal self‐dual [50,25,10] codes with a certain weight enumerator. In this note, a new quasi‐symmetric 2‐(49,9,6) design is constructed. This is established by finding a new extremal self‐dual [50,25,10] code as a neighbor of one of the four extremal codes discovered by Huffman and Tonchev. A number of new extremal self‐dual [50,25,10] codes with other weight enumerators are also found. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Triangle-free quasi-symmetric 2-(v, k,k) designs with intersection numbers x, y; 01, are investigated. It is proved that k ≥ 2 yx -3. As a consequence it is seen that for fixed k, there are finitely many triangle-free quasi-symmetric designs. It is also proved that: k ≤ y( yx)+ x.
We give a construction for a symmetric 2-(160,54,18) design that effectively uses the incidence matrix of the design of the hyperplanes in PG(3,3) as a tactical decomposition. This is the first design ever found with these parameters. 0 1 9 9 3 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
All quasi-symmetric 2-(28, 12, 11) designs with an automorphism of order 7 without fixed points or blocks are enumerated. Up to isomorphism, there are exactly 246 such designs. All but four of these designs are embeddable as derived designs in symmetric 2-(64, 28, 12) designs, producing in this way
## Abstract The following results for proper quasi‐symmetric designs with non‐zero intersection numbers __x__,__y__ and λ > 1 are proved. Let __D__ be a quasi‐symmetric design with __z__ = __y__ − __x__ and __v__ ≥ 2__k__. If __x__ ≥ 1 + __z__ + __z__^3^ then λ < __x__ + 1 + __z__ + __z__^3^. Let
We give a characterization of codes meeting the Grey Rankin bound. When the codes have even length, the existence of such codes is equivalent to the existence of certain quasi-symmetric designs. We also find the parameters of all linear codes meeting the Grey Rankin bound. ## 1997 Academic Press T
