Let Σ = (X,B) be an 8-cycle system of order v = 1+16k. A c-colouring of type s is a map φ : B → C, with C set of colours, so that exactly c colours are used and for every vertex x all the blocks containing x are coloured with exactly s colours. Let 8k = qs+ r, with q, r ≥ 0. The colouring φ is called equitable if for every vertex x the set of the 8k blocks containing x is partitioned into r col...
