Abstract
An extended directed triple system of order v, denoted by EDTS(v), is a pair (V, (equation omitted)) where V is a v-set and (equation omitted) is a set of transitive triples of elements of V such that every ordered pair of elements of V is contained in exactly one member of (equation omitted). We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of cyclic EDTS(v)s, and when k=1 or 2, we also obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of k-rotational EDTS(v)s.
