  Abstract:
Variations of the trade-off method exist in the literature of design theory and have been utilized by some authors to produce some t-designs with or without repeated blocks. In this paper we explore a new version of this algorithmic method (i) to produce 20 nonisomorphic and rigid 4-(12,5,4) designs, (ii) to study the spectrum of support sizes of 4-(12,5,4) designs. Along these, we also present a new design invariant for testing isomorphism among designs and a new way of representing t-designs.
