A Problem Concerning Nonincident Points and Blocks in Steiner Triple Systems

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we study the problem of finding the largest possible set of s points and s blocks in a Steiner triple system of order v, such that that none of the s points lie on any of the s blocks. We prove that s \leq (2v+5 - \sqrt{24v+25})/2. We also show that equality can be attained in this bound for infinitely many values of v.
