Doubly resolvable Steiner quadruple systems of orders \(2^{2n+1}\) (Q2205890): Difference between revisions

A \(t\)-\((v,k,\lambda)\) design is a pair \((X ,\mathcal B)\), where \(X\) is a \(v\)-element set and \(\mathcal B\) is a set of \(k\)-subsets of \(X\), called blocks, with the property that every \(t\)-subset of \(X\) is contained in exactly \(\lambda\) blocks. A \(t\)-\((v,k,\lambda)\) design \((X ,\mathcal B)\) is said to be \((s,\mu)\)-resolvable if \(\mathcal B\) can be partitioned into \(\mathcal B_1 |\dots|\mathcal B_c\) such that each \((X, \mathcal B_i)\) is an \(s\)-\((v,k,\mu)\) design. Further, if each \((X,\mathcal B_i)\) is also \((r,\nu)\)-resolvable, then such an \((s,\mu)\)-resolvable \(t\)-design is called \((s,\mu)(r,\nu)\)-doubly resolvable. \textit{A. Hartman} [Lect. Notes Math. 829, 157--164 (1980; Zbl 0466.05025)] constructed a \((2,3)(1,1)\)-doubly resolvable \(3\)-\((v,4,1)\) design for \(v\in\{20,32,44,68,80,104\}\) and a \((2,3)\)-resolvable \(3\)-\((2^7,4,1)\) design. In this paper, the authors construct \((2,3)(1,1)\)-doubly resolvable \(3\)-\((2^{2n+1},4,1)\) designs for all positive integers \(n\).
