Among the simplest combinatorial designs, triple systems are a natural generalization of graphs and have connections with geometry, algebra, group theory, finite fields, and cyclotomy. Applications of triple systems are found in coding theory, cryptography, computer science, and statistics. In many cases, triple systems provide the prototype for deep results in combinatorial design theory, and a number of important results were first understood in the context of triple systems and then generalized. This book attempts to survey current knowledge on the subject, to gather together common...

On March 28 31, 1994 (Farvardin 8 11, 1373 by Iranian calendar), the Twenty fifth Annual Iranian Mathematics Conference (AIMC25) was held at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran. Its sponsors in eluded the Iranian Mathematical Society, and the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Sharif University of Technology. Among the keynote speakers were Professor Dr. Andreas Dress and Professor Richard K. Guy. Their plenary lec tures on combinatorial themes were complemented by invited and contributed lectures in a Combinatorics Session. This book is a collection of...
