Configurations and graphs. II (Q1356698)

The aim of this paper is to give a second survey on relations between graphs and configurations in the sense of the author's first part [Discrete Math. 111, 269-276 (1993; Zbl 0786.05088)]. It contains some further relations as well as additional remarks to topics which were mentioned in the first survey. In particular, a new and quite general connection concerning the existence of certain configurations and the blocking set property is described. The last section contains some historical facts and some general background of the history of configurations.
