Abstract

In this paper, we introduce LR(u) designs and use these designs together with large sets of Kirkman triple systems (LKTS) and transitive KTS (TKTS) of order υ to construct an LKTS(uυ). Our main result is that there exists an LKTS(υ) for υ ∈ {3nm(2 . 13k + 1)t; n ≥ 1, k ≥ 1, t = 0,1, m ∈ {1, 5, 11, 17, 25, 35, 43}}.
