    Given a 3-uniform hypergraph H(3), an H(3)-decomposition of the complete hypergraph K(3)_v is a collection of hypergraphs, all isomorphic to H(3), whose edge sets partition the edge set of K(3)_v. An H(3)-decomposition of K(3)_v is also called an H(3)-design and the hypergraphs of the partition are said to be the blocks. An H(3)-design is said to be balanced if the number of blocks containing any given vertex of K(3)_v is a constant. In this paper, we determine completely, without exceptions, the spectrum of balanced P(3)(1 5)-designs

    ON THE SPECTRUM OF OCTAGON QUADRANGLE SYSTEMS OF ANY INDEX

    An \emph{octagon quadrangle} is the graph consisting of a length 88 cycle (x1,x2,…,x8)(x_{1},x_{2},\dots,x_{8}) and two chords, {x1,x4}\{x_{1},x_{4}\} and {x5,x8}\{x_{5},x_{8}\}. An \emph{octagon quadrangle system} of order vv and index λ\lambda is a pair (X,B)(X,\mathcal B), where XX is a finite set of vv vertices and B\mathcal B is a collection of octagon quadrangles (called blocks) which partition the edge set of λKv\lambda K_{v}, with XX as vertex set. In this paper we determine completely the spectrum of octagon quadrangle systems for any index λ\lambda, with the only possible exception of v=20v=20 for λ=1\lambda=1
