چکیده

Using an orderly algorithm, the Steiner triple systems of order 19 are classified; there are 11,084,874,829 pairwise nonisomorphic such designs. For each design, the order of its automorphism group and the number of Pasch configurations it contains are recorded; 2,591 of the designs are anti-Pasch. There are three main parts of the classification: constructing an initial set of blocks, the seeds; completing the seeds to triple systems with an algorithm for exact cover; and carrying out isomorph rejection of the final triple systems. Isomorph rejection is based on the graph canonical labeling software nauty supplemented with a vertex invariant based on Pasch configurations. The possibility of using the (strongly regular) block graphs of these designs in the isomorphism tests is utilized. The aforementioned value is in fact a lower bound on the number of pairwise nonisomorphic strongly regular graphs with parameters (57, 24, 11, 9).

Steiner Triple Systems of Order 19 with Nontrivial Automorphism Group

There are 172,248 Steiner triple systems of order 19 having a nontrivial automorphism group. Computational methods suitable for generating these designs are developed. The use of tactical configurations in conjunction with orderly algorithms underlies practical techniques for the generation of the designs, and the subexponential time isomorphism technique for triple systems is improved in pract...

Steiner Triple Systems of Order 19 Contain a Subsystem of Order

In this paper, we enumerate the (nonisomorphic) Steiner triple systems of order 19 which contain a subsystem of order 9. The number of these designs is precisely 284457. We also determine which of these designs also contain at least one subsystem of order 7, and how many. Exactly 13529 of them contain at least one subsystem of order 7.

The embedding problem for partial Steiner triple systems

The system has the nice property that any pair of distinct elements of V occurs in exactly one of the subsets. This makes it an example of a Steiner triple system. Steiner triple systems first appeared in the mathematical literature in the mid-nineteenth century but the concept must surely have been thought of long before then. An excellent historical introduction appears in [7]. As pointed out...

The Cycle Switching Graph of the Steiner Triple Systems of Order 19 is Connected

Switching is a local transformation that when applied to a combinatorial object gives another object with the same parameters. It is here shown that the cycle switching graph of the 11 084 874 829 isomorphism classes of Steiner triple systems of order 19 as well as the cycle switching graph of the 1 348 410 350 618 155 344 199 680 000 labeled such designs are connected. In addition to giving an...

Sets of three pairwise orthogonal Steiner triple systems

Two Steiner triple systems (STS) are orthogonal if their sets of triples are disjoint, and two disjoint pairs of points defining intersecting triples in one system fail to do so in the other. In 1994, it was shown [2] that there exist a pair of orthogonal Steiner triple systems of order v for all v ≡ 1, 3 (mod 6), with v ≥ 7, v 6= 9. In this paper we show that there exist three pairwise orthogo...
