11	Pairwise Balanced Designs of Dimension Three Niezen, Joanna 20 December 2013 (has links) A linear space is a set of points and lines such that any pair of points lie on exactly one line together. This is equivalent to a pairwise balanced design PBD(v, K), where there are v points, lines are regarded as blocks, and K ⊆ Z≥2 denotes the set of allowed block sizes. The dimension of a linear space is the maximum integer d such that any set of d points is contained in a proper subspace. Specifically for K = {3, 4, 5}, we determine which values of v admit PBD(v,K) of dimension at least three for all but a short list of possible exceptions under 50. We also observe that dimension can be reduced via a substitution argument. / Graduate / 0405 / jniezen@uvic.ca pairwise balanced design PBD Latin square MOLS GDD dimension linear space game of Set Steiner triple system STS Steiner space subspace Wilson's construction
12	Steinerovská barvení kubických grafů / Steiner coloring of cubic graphs Tlustá, Stanislava January 2017 (has links) This thesis is dedicated to the coloring of cubic graphs. It summarizes the knowledge we have about so called Steiner coloring, which is an edge-coloring such that the colors incident with one vertex form a triple of some partial Steiner system. The main objects of interest are the projective and affine systems. Afterwards the sufficient condition for universality of the system is stated and it is observed, that all other transitive Steiner triple systems satisfy it. This thesis also contains methods of construction of the coloring for the Fano plane, for the affine system Z3 3 and for the universal system created as a product of the Fano plane and the trivial system (F7 S⊠ 3). Finally an algorithm usable for the rest of the systems and graphs with bounded treewidth is presented.
