More results on perfect (3,3,6k + 4; 6k − 2)‐threshold schemes

A (2,3)‐packing on X is a pair (X, ), where is a set of 3‐subsets (called blocks) of X, such that any pair of distinct points from X occurs together in at most one block. Its leave is a graph (X,E) such that E consists of all the pairs which do not appear in any block of . In this article, we shall construct a set of 6k ? 2 disjoint (2,3)‐packings of order 6k + 4 with K_1,3 ∪ 3kK₂ or G₁ ∪ (3k ? 1)K₂ as their common leave for any integer k ≥ 1 with a few possible exceptions (G₁ is a special graph of order 6). Such a system can be used to construct perfect threshold schemes as noted by Schellenberg and Stinson ( 22 ). © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs
