## Abstract It is shown that there exists a triangle decomposition of the graph obtained from the complete graph of order __v__ by removing the edges of two vertex disjoint complete subgraphs of orders __u__ and __w__ if and only if __u,w__, and __v__ are odd, ${{v}\choose 2}-{u\choose 2}- {w\choos

Abstract
A 2‐class regular partial Steiner triple system is a partial Steiner triple system whose points can be partitioned into 2‐classes such that no triple is contained in either class and any two points belonging to the same class are contained in the same number of triples. It is uniform if the two classes have the same size. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of uniform 2‐class regular partial Steiner triple systems.

## Abstract A well‐known, and unresolved, conjecture states that every partial Steiner triple system of order __u__ can be embedded in a Steiner triple system of order υ for all υ ≡ 1 or 3, (mod 6), υ ≥ 2u + 1. However, some partial Steiner triple systems of order __u__ can be embedded in Steiner t
It is shown that there is a function g on the natural numbers such that a partial Steiner triple system U on u points can be embedded in a Steiner triple system V on v v v points, in such a way that all automorphisms of U can be extended to V, for every admissible v v v satisfying v v v > gðuÞ. We f
## Abstract In this paper, we present three constructions for anti‐mitre Steiner triple systems and a construction for 5‐sparse ones. The first construction for anti‐mitre STSs settles two of the four unsettled admissible residue classes modulo 18 and the second construction covers such a class mod
## Abstract Lindner's conjecture that any partial Steiner triple system of order __u__ can be embedded in a Steiner triple system of order __v__ if $v\equiv 1,3 \; ({\rm mod}\; 6)$ and $v\geq 2u+1$ is proved. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 17: 63–89, 2009
