Title
A new upper bound on the parameters of quasi-symmetric designs.
Abstract
Quasi-symmetric designs are the special type of block designs with two block intersection sizes. In very recent years 2011 and 2012, investigations on quasi-symmetric 2-(v,k,λ) designs with the difference of block intersection sizes 2 and 3, have been studied by Pawale (2011) [10] and Mavron et al. (2012) [7] respectively. In this paper, we consider the quasi-symmetric 2-design for the block intersection sizes x and y=x+3 and establish an upper bound for the replication number r which is stronger than that of Mavron et al. (2012) [7] keeping the smallest value of λ as just 6.
