摘要
It is well-known that the number of designs with the parameters of a classical design having as blocks the hyperplanes in PG(n, q) or AG(n, q), n >= 3, grows exponentially. This result was extended recently [D. Jungnickel, V. D. Tonchev, Des Codes Cryptogr, published online: 23 May, 2009] to designs having the same parameters as a projective geometry design whose blocks are the d-subspaces of PG(n, q), for any 2 <= d <= n-1. In this paper, exponential lower bounds are proved on the number of non-isomorphic designs having the same parameters as an affine geometry design whose blocks are the d-subspaces of AG(n, q), for any 2 <= d <= n-1, as well as resolvable designs with these parameters. An exponential lower bound is also proved for the number of non-isomorphic resolvable 3-designs with the same parameters as an affine geometry design whose blocks are the d-subspaces of AG(n, 2), for any 2 <= d <= n-1.
