Title
On the number of transversal designs.
Abstract
Bounds are obtained on the number of distinct transversal designs TD(g,n) (having g groups with n points in each group) for certain values of g and n. Amongst other results it is proved that, if 2<g⩽q+1 where q is a prime power, then the number of nonisomorphic TD(g,qr) designs is at least qαrq2r(1−o(1)) as r→∞, where α=1/q4. The bounds obtained give equivalent bounds for the numbers of distinct and nonisomorphic sets of g−2 mutually orthogonal Latin squares of order n in the corresponding cases. Applications to other combinatorial designs are also described.
