The number of partial Steiner systems and $d$-partitions

Combinatorics 2022-02-21 v4

Abstract

We prove asymptotic upper bounds on the number of dd-partitions (paving matroids of fixed rank) and partial Steiner systems (sparse paving matroids of fixed rank), using a mixture of entropy counting, sparse encoding, and the probabilistic method.
