Abstract

The interplay between coding theory and tt-designs started many years ago. While every tt-design yields a linear code over every finite field, the largest tt for which an infinite family of tt-designs is derived directly from a linear or nonlinear code is t=3t=3. Sporadic 44-designs and 55-designs were derived from some linear codes of certain parameters. The major objective of this paper is to construct many infinite families of 22-designs and 33-designs from linear codes. The parameters of some known tt-designs are also derived. In addition, many conjectured infinite families of 22-designs are also presented.
