Title
Pair covering designs with block size 5
Abstract
In this article we look at pair covering designs with a block size of 5 and v=0(mod4). The number of blocks in a minimum covering design is known as the covering number C(v,5,2). For v=<24, these values are known, and all but v=8 exceed the Schonheim bound, L(v,5,2)[email protected]__ __v/[email protected]__ __(v-1)/[email protected]__ [email protected]__ __. However, for all v>=28 with v=0(mod4), it seems probable that C(v,5,2)=L(v,5,2). We establish this for all but 17 possible exceptional values lying in the range 40=
