Hamilton Decompositions of Block-Intersection Graphs of Steiner Triple Systems

چکیده

Block-intersection graphs of Steiner triple systems are considered. We prove that the block-intersection graphs of non-isomorphic Steiner triple systems are themselves non-isomorphic. We also prove that each Steiner triple system of order at most 15 has a Hamilton decomposable block-intersection graph.

Decomposing block-intersection graphs of Steiner triple systems into triangles

The problem of decomposing the block intersection graph of a Steiner triple system into triangles is considered. In the case when the block intersection graph has even degree, this is completely solved, while when the block intersection graph has odd degree, removal of some spanning subgraph of odd degree is necessary before the rest can be decomposed into triangles. In this case, some decompos...

Block-Intersection Graphs of Steiner Triple Systems

A Steiner triple system of order n is a collection of subsets of size three, taken from the n-element set {0, 1, ..., n−1}, such that every pair is contained in exactly one of the subsets. The subsets are called triples, and a block-intersection graph is constructed by having each triple correspond to a vertex. If two triples have a non-empty intersection, an edge is inserted between their vert...

The chromatic index of block intersection graphs of Kirkman triple systems and cyclic Steiner triple systems

The block intersection graph of a combinatorial design with block set B is the graph with B as its vertex set such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if their associated blocks are not disjoint. The chromatic index of a graph G is the least number of colours that enable each edge of G to be assigned a single colour such that adjacent edges never have the same colour. A graph G for which...

The Fine Intersection Problem for Steiner Triple Systems

The intersection of two Steiner triple systems (X,A) and (X,B) is the set A ∩ B. The fine intersection problem for Steiner triple systems is to determine for each v, the set I(v), consisting of all possible pairs (m,n) such that there exist two Steiner triple systems of order v whose intersection I satisfies | ∪A∈I A| = m and |I| = n. We show that for v ≡ 1 or 3 (mod 6), |I(v)| = Θ(v3), where p...
