Intersection Numbers of Certain 2-Designs from Finite Fields
摘要
We consider certain 2-designs arising from finite fields. The maximal number in the intersections of any two distinct blocks in such a 2-design is shown to depend solely on the characteristic of the finite field and the block size of the design. A characterization and an algorithm are given to determine the maximal number of intersection points when the finite field and block size of such a 2-design are given.
