A137348 Number of Steiner quadruple systems (SQS's) of order n. 1

%I #8 Feb 02 2020 21:37:36

%S 1,1,0,1,0,0,0,30,0,2520,0,0,0,37362124800,0,14311959985625702400,0,0,

%T 0

%N Number of Steiner quadruple systems (SQS's) of order n.

%C The values are calculated by utilizing the Knuth's Algorithm X. Only the number of non-isomorphic SQS's is presented in peer-reviewed literature and scientific textbooks. The algorithm was verified to be valid by seeking STS's presented in A001201.

%C n=14 calculated from "Mendelsohn and Hung: On Steiner Systems S(3,4,14) and S(4,5,15), Util. Math. Vol 1 (1972), pp. 5-95" with orbit-stabilizer theorem

%C n=15 is given in "Petteri Kaski, Patric R. J. Östergård (Patric.Ostergard(AT)hut.fi) and O. Pottonen, The Steiner quadruple systems of order 16". SQS(20) is still unknown.
