Abstract
Quasi-symmetric designs are block designs with two block intersection numbersx andy It is shown that with the exception of (x, y)=(0, 1), for a fixed value of the block sizek, there are finitely many such designs. Some finiteness results on block graphs are derived. For a quasi-symmetric 3-design with positivex andy, the intersection numbers are shown to be roots of a quadratic whose coefficients are polynomial functions ofv, k and λ. Using this quadratic, various characterizations of the Witt—Luneburg design on 23 points are obtained. It is shown that ifx=1, then a fixed value of λ determines at most finitely many such designs.
