On the spectrum of simple \(T(2,3,v)\) trades (Q2427174): Difference between revisions

A \(T(t,k,v)\)-trade \((V,T^+,T^-)\) is a triple in which \(V\) is a \(v\)-set, and \(T^+\) and \(T^-\) are disjoint collections of \(k\)-subsets (blocks) of \(V\), with the property that every \(t\)-subset of \(V\) appears equally often in the blocks of \(T^+\) and of \(T^-\). Its foundation is the set of elements appearing in at least one block of \(T^+\) (and hence also of \(T^-\). Its volume is the number of blocks in \(T^+\). This paper determines the spectrum of sizes of volumes of all \(T(2,3,v)\)-trades whose foundation has even size.
