Popis: A collection of k-subsets (called blocks) of a v-set X (v) = {1, 2,…, v} (with elements called points) is called a t-(v, k, m, λ) covering if for every m-subset M of X (v) there is a subcollection of with such that every block K ∈ has at least t points in common with M. It is required that v ≥ k ≥ t and v ≥ m ≥ t. The minimum number of blocks in a t-(v, k, m, λ) covering is denoted by Cλ(v, k, t, m). We present some constructions producing the best known upper bounds on Cλ(v, k, t, m) for k = 6, a parameter of interest to lottery players. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
