Abstract

For a 1-$(v,k,\lambda)$ design $\mathcal{D}$ containing a point $x$, we study the set $I_x$, the intersection of all blocks of $\mathcal{D}$ containing $x$. We use the set $I_x$ together with the Key-Moori Method 2 to construct reduced designs invariant under some families of finite simple groups. We also show that there is a connection between reduced designs constructed by Method 2 and the new Moori Method 3.
