Kite-design A kite-design of order n is a pair (X, Ҝ), where X is the vertex set of Kn and Ҝ is an edge-disjoint decomposition of Kn into copies of kites. If kite-design of order n exists then Then n≡0,1 (mod 8)

Intersection Problem for kite-designs: Find all possible values k such that there are two kite-designs, (V, B1) and (V, B2), of order n with |B1 B2|=k.
Example: KD(8); • B1={(1,2,4;),(2,3,5;),(3,4,6;), (4,5,7;),(5,6,1;),(6,7,2;),(7,1,3;)} • B2={(1,2,4;3),(5,2,3;),(,4,6;3),(4,5,7;),(6,1,5;),(6,7,2;),(3,7,1;)}} B1B2={(4,5,7;),(6,7,2;)} |B1B2|=2 • (4,5,7;) and (6,7,2;) has a common vertex 7
In 2004, Yeow Meng Chee give: Two STS (X, A) and (X, B) are said to intersect in m pairwise disjoint blocks if |AB|=m and all blocks in AB are pairwise disjoint He prove that the spectrum of the problem in order v is {0,1,…,(v-1)/3} if v 1 (mod 6); {0,1,…,v/3} if v 3 (mod 6); for v13. {1},{0,1},{0,1,3} for v=3,7,9, respectively
Kite-design Intersecting in Pairwise Disjoint Blocks Find all possible values k such that there are two kite-designs of order n, (V, B1) and (V, B2), in which |B1 B2|=k and all blocks in B1 B2 are pairwise disjoint.
Id(n) = {k| there exist two kite-designs of order n, (V, B1) and (V, B2), in which |B1 B2|=k and all blocks in B1 B2 are pairwise disjoint} • Let Jd(n) = {0,1,…,[n/4]} Lemma (Billington) {0, 1}Id(n), for all n 0 or 1 (mod 8).

Let π=(1,2)(5,6). πK={(2,1,3;4),(6,5,7;8),(4,8,9;5),(1,6,8;2), (2,9,7;3),(3,8,5;2),(2, 6,4;5),(4,7,1;5),(3,6,9;1)}. Then K∩πK={(1,2,3;4),(5,6,7;8)}. From the result and above Lemma, we obtain I(9)=J(9). ⋄
