In the latter case, it gives a powerful method for constructing Steiner triple systems containing Veblen points. Counting all Steiner triple systems of order v is an open problem for v>21. In this paper, we investigate the number of Steiner triple systems of order 19, 27 and 31 containing Veblen points and we present some examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2025-01-08T12:05:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05B07", "20N05", "51E10" ], "keywords": [ "small steiner triple systems", "triple systems containing veblen points", "steiner triple systems containing veblen", "constructing steiner triple systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
