โฆ Synopsis
In this article, we present a direct construction for cyclically resolvable cyclic Steiner 2-designs which is applicable irrespective of the parity of the block size. As an example, by using Weil's theorem on character sums, this construction gives an infinite series of cyclically resolvable cyclic Steiner 2-designs with block size 4 on 4p points, where p=12t+1 is a prime greater than 22581507 and t is odd. With the aid of a computer and some ad hoc constructions, we show that such designs exist also for primes less than 22581507. By applying a known recursive method, we construct other cyclically resolvable cyclic Steiner 2-designs with block size 4 on 4q points, where q is a product of primes of the form 12t+1 and t is odd.

This paper gives some recursive constructions for cyclic 3-designs. Using these constructions we improve Grannell and Griggs's construction for cyclic Steiner quadruple systems, and many known recursive constructions for cyclic Steiner quadruple systems are unified. Finally, some new infinite famili
In this paper we investigate the structlrlre of S-cyclic Steiner quadruple systems and derive a necessary condition on their existence which might turn out to be sufficient. In the third chapter we prove a necessary condition on the existence of general S-cyclic Steiner systems. It turns out that S-
