Abstract

We present a nontrivial extension to Bose's method for the construction of Steiner triple systems, generalizing the traditional use of commutative and idempotent quasigroups to employ a new algebraic structure called a 3-tri algebra. Links between Steiner triple systems and 2-(υ, 3, 3) designs via 3-tri algebras are also explored.
