Abstract

In this note, we give a precise construction of one of the families of 22-designs arose from studying flag-transitive 22-designs with parameters (v,k,λ)(v,k,\lambda) whose replication numbers rr are coprime to λ\lambda. We show that for a given positive integer q=22n+18q=2^{2n+1}\geq 8, there exists a 22-design with parameters (q2+1,q,q1)(q^{2}+1,q,q-1) and the replication number q2q^{2} admitting the Suzuki group Sz(q)\textsf{Sz(q)} as its automorphism group. We also construct a family of 22-designs with parameters (q2+1,q(q1),(q1)(q2q1))(q^{2}+1,q(q-1),(q-1)(q^{2}-q-1)) and the replication number q2(q1)q^{2}(q-1) admitting the Suzuki groups Sz(q)\textsf{Sz(q)} as their automorphism groups.
