We determine all S(3, K, 17)'s which either; (i) have a block of size at least 6; or (ii) have an automorphism group order divisible by 17, 5, or 3; or (iii) contain a semi-biplane; or (iv) come from an S(3, K, 16) which is not an S(3, 4, 16). There is an S(3, K, 17) with |G| = n if and only if n β

β¦ Synopsis
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the extendability of residual designs of Steiner systems S ( t , t + 1, v) are studied. In particular, it is shown that a residual design with respect to a single point is uniquely extendable, and the extendability of a residual design with respect to a pair of points is equivalent to a bipartition of the block graph of a related design.

Symposium on Inform. Theory, Whistler, Canada,'' pp. 345) proved that every [n, k, d] O code with gcd(d, q)"1 and with all weights congruent to 0 or d (modulo q) is extendable to an O code with all weights congruent to 0 or d#1 (modulo q). We give another elementary geometrical proof of this theor
A graph G is n-extendable if it is connected, contains a set of rr independent edges and every set of n-independent edges extends to (i.e. is a subset of) a perfect matching. Combining the results of this and previous papers we answer the question of 2-extendability for all the generalized Petersen
## Abstract A set of trivial necessary conditions for the existence of a large set of __t__βdesigns, __LS__[N](__t,k,__Ξ½), is $N\big | {{\nu \hskip -3.1 \nu}-i \choose k-i}$ for __i__β=β0,β¦,__t__. There are two conjectures due to Hartman and Khosrovshahi which state that the trivial necessary condi
## Abstract Although it is known that the maximum number of variables in two amicable orthogonal designs of order 2^__n__^__p__, where __p__ is an odd integer, never exceeds 2__n__+2, not much is known about the existence of amicable orthogonal designs lacking zero entries that have 2__n__+2 variab
