Abstract: | We study 4-designs with three intersection numbers. By the Cameron-Delsarte theorem, the blocks form a symmetric three-class association scheme. This imposes strong restrictions on the parameters of such designs. We calculate the eigenvalues of the association scheme from the design parameters and determine all admissible parameters with at most 1000 points. An infinite family of admissible parameters is discovered. Designs with small admissible parameters exist and are related to the quadratic residue codes. |
