It is will known that Steiner quadruple systems of order v, or SQS(v), exist if and only if v = 2, 4 mod 6. Universal cycles, introduced by Chung, Diaconis, and Graham in 1992, are a type of cyclic Gray code. Overlap cycles are generalizations of universal cycles that were introduced in 2010 by Godbole. Using Hanani's SQS constructions, we show that for every v = 2, 4 mod 6 with v > 4 there exists an SQS(v) that admits a 1-overlap cycle.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-04-14T20:42:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "68R15", "05B05" ], "keywords": [ "steiner quadruple systems", "overlap cycles", "universal cycles", "hananis sqs constructions", "cyclic gray code" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1204.3215H" } } }
