3 Constructing block designs

Let v be a positive integer and B a non-empty list of non-empty sorted lists of elements of {1,...,v}.

The first version of this function returns the block design with point-set {1,...,v} and block multiset C, where C is SortedList(B).

For the second version of this function, we require G to be a group of permutations of {1,...,v}, and the function returns the block design with point-set {1,...,v} and block multiset C, where C is the sorted list of the concatenation of the G-orbits of the elements of B.

Let n be positive integer, q a prime-power, and d a non-negative integer less than or equal to n. Then this function returns the block design whose points are the points of the affine space AG(n,q), and whose blocks are the d-flats of AG(n,q), considering a d-flat as a set of points.

Note that the affine space AG(n,q) consists of all the cosets of all the subspaces of the vector space V(n,q), with the points being the cosets of the 0-dimensional subspace and the d-flats being the cosets of the d-dimensional subspaces. As is usual, we identify the points with the vectors in V(n,q), and these vectors are given as the point-names.

Let n be a non-negative integer, q a prime-power, and d a non-negative integer less than or equal to n. Then this function returns the block design whose points are the (projective) points of the projective space PG(n,q), and whose blocks are the d-flats of PG(n,q), considering a d-flat as a set of projective points.

Note that the projective space PG(n,q) consists of all the subspaces of the vector space V(n+1,q), with the projective points being the 1-dimensional subspaces and the d-flats being the (d+1)-dimensional subspaces.

Suppose D is a block design, and x is a point or block of D. Then this function returns the residual design RD of D, with respect to x.

If x is a point then RD is the block design whose blocks are those of D not containing x, and the points of RD are those which occur in some block of RD.

If x is a block, then the points of RD are those of D not in x, and the blocks of RD are the blocks of D (including repeats) containing at least one point not in x, but with all points in x deleted from these blocks.

It is an error if the resulting block design RD has no blocks.

The points of RD are relabelled 1,2,..., preserving the order of the corresponding points of D; the point-names of RD (listed in RD.pointNames) are those of these corresponding points of D.

For t a non-negative integer, K a set of positive integers, and v,lambda positive integers with tlev, a t-wise balanced design, or a t-(v,K,lambda) design, is a binary block design with exactly v points, such that each block has size in K and each t-subset of the points is contained in exactly lambda blocks.

Now let t and k be positive integers, D be a t-(v,K,lambda) design (for some set K), and tleklek₁, where exactly s distinct block-sizes k₁< cdots< k_s occur in D. Then this function returns the t-design D^*=D^*(t,k) described and studied in McSo.

The point set of D^* is that of D, and the block multiset of D^* consists of, for each i=1,...,s and each block B of D of size k_i (including repeats), exactly n/k_i-t choosek-t copies of every k-subset of B, where n:=lcm(k_i-t choosek-t:1leiles).

It is shown in McSo that D^* is a t-(v,k,nlambda) design, that Aut(D)subseteqAut(D^*), and that if lambda=1 and t<k, then Aut(D)=Aut(D^*).
