Sažetak

In this paper, we observe the possibility that the group \(S_{n}\times S_{m}\) acts
as a flag-transitive automorphism group of a block design with point set \(\{1,\ldots ,n\}\times \{1,\ldots ,m\},4\leq n\leq m\leq 70\). We prove the
equivalence of that problem to the existence of an appropriately defined
smaller flag-transitive incidence structure. By developing and applying
several algorithms for the construction of the latter structure, we manage
to solve the existence problem for the desired designs with \(nm\) points in
the given range. In the vast majority of the cases with confirmed existence,
we obtain all possible structures up to isomorphism.
