Good sequencings for small Mendelsohn triple systems

Publication date: 13 September 2019

Abstract: A Mendelsohn triple system of order

v

(or MTS

(v)

) is a decomposition of the complete graph into directed 3-cyles. We denote the directed 3-cycle with edges

(x, y)

,

(y, z)

and

(z, x)

by

(x, y, z)

,

(y, z, x)

or

(z, x, y)

. An

e l l

-good sequencing of a MTS

(v)

is a permutation of the points of the design, say

[x_{1}; c d o t s; x_{v}]

, such that, for every triple

(x, y, z)

in the design, it is not the case that

x = x_{i}

,

y = x_{j}

and

z = x_{k}

with

i < j < k

and

k - i + 1 l e q e l l

; or with

j < k < i

and

i - j + 1 l e q e l l

; or with

k < i < j

and

j - k + 1 l e q e l l

.
