Universal cycles for minimum coverings of pairs by triples, with application to 2-radius sequences

A new ordering, extending the notion of universal cycles of Chung et al. (1992), is proposed for the blocks of k-uniform set systems. Existence of minimum coverings of pairs by triples that possess such an ordering is es-tablished for all orders. The application to the construction of short 2-radius...

Description
Summary:A new ordering, extending the notion of universal cycles of Chung et al. (1992), is proposed for the blocks of k-uniform set systems. Existence of minimum coverings of pairs by triples that possess such an ordering is es-tablished for all orders. The application to the construction of short 2-radius sequences is given, along with some new 2-radius sequences found through a computer search.
