Rotch, Benard C. Tonu, ReubenC. Langat Abstract: In ths paper we fnd ntersecton numbers and ntersecton matrces assocated wth each non trva sub orbt correspondng to the acton of rank 3 groups; The symmetrc group S 5,aternatng group A 5 and The dhedra group D 5 on the set of unordered pars. We showed that the coumn sum of the ntersecton matrces assocated wth s equa the ength of the suborbt. They are aso square matrces and of order 3x3. Index Terms: Intersecton atrces,non Trva Suborbt, Acton of Rank 3 Groups,Set of Unordered Pars INTRODUCTION In 964, Hgman ntroduced the rank of a group when he worked on fnte permutaton groups of rank 3. He showed that f G s a group actng transtvey on a set, where n and f G s a rank 3 group of degree n=k +, where k s the ength of a G x orbt, x then n = 5,, 5 or 35.In 97, Hgman cacuated the rank and subdegrees of the symmetrc group Sn actng on a eement subsets from the set ={,,,n}.he showed that the rank s 3 and the n,, subdegrees are n. In 97, Cameron worked on suborbts of mutpy permutaton groups and ater n 974, he studed suborbts of prmtve groups. In 978, he deat wth the orbts of permutaton groups of unordered pars. In 977, Neuman extended the work of Hgman and Sms to fnte permutaton groups, edge cooured graphs and aso matrces. INTERSECTION ATRICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTION OF G S. 5 ON.
