3 Introduction 2-(v,k,λ) design: V = {P i } v i=1 B = {B j } b j=1 finite set of v points; finite collection of b blocks: k-element subsets of V; D = (V, B ) 2-(v,k,λ) design if any 2-element subset of V is in λ blocks of B; r(k-1) = λ(v-1) bk = vr
4 Introduction Isomorphic designs exists a one-to-one correspondence between the point sets and block families of both designs, which does not change the incidence. Automorphism permutation of the points that transforms the blocks into blocks.
5 Introduction Parallel class partition of the design point set by blocks. Resolution partition of the family of blocks by parallel classes. Isomorphic resolutions - exists an automorphism of the design transforming each parallel class of the first resolution into a parallel class of the second one.
6 Introduction Ogata, Kurosawa, Stinson, Saido, 2004; (v, c u, )-splitting BIBD (V,B) with the next properties: V = v finite set of points p i, 1 i v ; B = b finite family of super-blocks, B j V, B j B, 1 j b; B j B, B j = B ij,1 B j,u, B j,1 = = B j,u =c; p x, p y V, x y, exactly super-blocks B j, x B i,m, y B i,n, m n. splitting BIBDs splitting authentication codes
7 Introduction (v, c u, )-splitting BIBD (V,B) with the next properties: V = v finite set of points p i, 1 i v ; B = b finite family of super-blocks, B j V, B j B, 1 j b; B j B, B j = B ij,1 B j,u, B j,1 = = B j,u =c; p x, p y V, x y, exactly super-blocks B j, x B i,m, y B i,n, m n. r = b = (v 1) c(u 1) v(v 1) c 2 u(u 1) v u. c v 1 0 mod (c(u 1)) v v 1 0 mod (c 2 u(u 1))
8 Introduction Equivalent splitting BIBDs exists a permutation of the points which transforms each super-block of the first splitting design to a super-block of the second one.
