β¦ Synopsis
We discuss the question of constructive proofs, or polynomial-time algorithms, for theorems which were proved earlier nonconstructively.
We present a forma1 model for such statements and give a collection of examples. In a greater detail, we deal with the problem of finding another Hamiltonian cycle in a cubic graph provided that one cycle is already known. A relation to combinatorial optimization is also considered.

We generalize some existence theorems for t- (u,k,l) designs. In fact, we prove that if certain inequality holds involving parameters of some simple r-designs, then new simple t-designs can be constructed. Using these results we discover first examples of infinite families of 5-designs in which blo
