Maximal arcs and quasi-symmetric designs
In 2001, Blokhuis and Haemers gave an interesting construction for quasisymmetric designs with parameters 2-(q, q(q − 1)/2, q(q − q − 2)/4) and block intersection numbers q(q − 2)/4 and q(q − 1)/4 (where q ≥ 4 is a power of 2), which uses maximal arcs in the affine plane AG(2, q) and produces examples embedded into affine 3-space AG(3, q). We consider this construction in more detail and in a m...
متن کاملPolarities, quasi-symmetric designs, and Hamada's conjecture
We prove that every polarity of PG(2k − 1, q), where k ≥ 2, gives rise to a design with the same parameters and the same intersection numbers as, but not isomorphic to PGk(2k, q). In particular, the case k = 2 yields a new family of quasi-symmetric designs. We also show that our construction provides an infinite family of counterexamples to Hamada’s conjecture, for any field of prime order p. P...
متن کاملBinary codes and quasi-symmetric designs
obtain a new for the of a-(u, A) design the block intersection designs are eliminated by an ad hoc coding theoretic argument. A 2-(v, k, A) design 93 is said to be quasi-symmetric if there are two block intersection sizes s1 and s2. The parameters of the complementary design !3* are related to the parameters of 93 as follows: Here Ai denotes the number of blocks through a given i points (and A ...
متن کاملA note on quasi-symmetric designs
A quasi-symmetric design is a (v, k, λ) design with two intersection numbers x, y where 0 ≤ x < y < k. We show that for fixed x, y, λ with x > 1, λ > 1, y = λ and λ (4xy + ((y − x) − 2x− 2y + 1)λ) a perfect square of a positive integer, there exist finitely many quasi-symmetric designs. We rule out the possibilities of quasi-symmetric designs corresponding to y = x + 3 and (λ, x) = (9, 2), (8, ...
متن کاملA tutorial on Quasi-experimental designs
A main step in answering a scientific hypothesis in an epidemiological study is deciding which type of study is suitable to be undertaken, considering methodology, practical considerations and budget and time limitations
