On extremal intersection numbers of a block design

Discrete Mathematics, 1982
AbstractK.N. Majumdar has shown that for a 2−(v, k, λ) design D there are three numbers α, τ, and Σ such that each intersection number of D is not greater than Σ and not less than max{α, τ}. In this paper we investigate designs having one of these ‘extremal’ intersection numbers. Quasisymmetric designs with at least one extremal intersection number are
