$q$-Analogs for Steiner Systems and Covering Designs

Combinatorics 2015-03-13 v2

Abstract

The qq-analogs of basic designs are discussed. It is proved that the existence of any unknown Steiner structures, the qq-analogs of Steiner systems, implies the existence of unknown Steiner systems. Optimal qq-analogs covering designs are presented. Some lower and upper bounds on the sizes of qq-analogs covering designs are proved.
