In this paper, the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a 1-rotational Sx(2, 3, v) design is obtained, and it is shown that an Sx(2, 3, v) design, if it exists, can be always constructed cyclically

β¦ Synopsis
A Steiner 2-design is 1-rotational over a group G if it admits G as an automorphism group fixing one point and acting regularly on the remainder. 1-rotational Steiner 2-designs have come into fashion since 1981, when Phelps and Rosa (Discrete Math. 33 (1981), 57 66) studied Steiner triple systems that are 1-rotational over the cyclic group. While all 1-rotational Steiner 2-designs constructed in the past have exactly one short block-orbit, in this paper we also consider 1-rotational Steiner 2-designs not having this property. We call them singular and we show that they are quite rare. In particular, we enumerate all the abelian 1-rotational 2-(49, 4, 1) designs.

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
## Abstract It is known that a necessary condition for the existence of a 1βrotational 2βfactorization of the complete graph __K__~2__n__+1~ under the action of a group __G__ of order 2__n__ is that the involutions of __G__ are pairwise conjugate. Is this condition also sufficient? The complete ans
