## Abstract For blockβpartitioned matrices of the __GI/M/__1 type, it has been shown by M. F. Neuts that the stationary probability vector, when it exists, has a matrixβgeometric form. We present here a new proof, which we believe to be the simplest available today.
Hollmann, Ko rner, and Litsyn used generalized Steiner systems to prove that it is impossible to partition an n-cube into k Hamming spheres if 2<k<n+2. Furthermore, if k=n+2, they showed the only partition of the n-cube consists of a single sphere of radius n&2 and n+1 spheres of radius 0. We give a
