The 3-way intersection problem for S(2, 4, v) designs

Abstract: In this paper the 3-way intersection problem for

S (2, 4, v)

designs is investigated. Let

b_{v} = f r a c v (v - 1) 12

and

I_{3} [v] = 0, 1, ..., b_{v} s e t m i n u s b_{v} - 7, b_{v} - 6, b_{v} - 5, b_{v} - 4, b_{v} - 3, b_{v} - 2, b_{v} - 1

. Let

there exist three

S (2, 4, v)

designs with

k

same common blocks

. We show that

J_{3} [v] s u b s e t e q I_{3} [v]

for any positive integer

v e q u i v 1, 4 (m m o d 12)

and

J_{3} [v] = I_{3} [v]

, for

v g e q 49

and

v = 13

. We find

J_{3} [16]

completely. Also we determine some values of

J_{3} [v]

for

v = 25, 28, 37

and 40.
