Symmetry-Induced Optimal Recursion Depth in Projective Resolvable Designs

Recursive constructions derived from finite projective geometries generate scalable families of resolvable block designs exhibiting strong algebraic regularity and intrinsic symmetry. In this work, we investigate the structural optimization of recursion depth in such constructions and demonstrate that the combinatorial growth of recursive chains is governed by a quadratic scaling law originating from the asymptotic expansion of Gaussian binomial coefficients. We show that the resulting exponent is strictly concave, which guarantees the existence and uniqueness of an optimal recursion depth. This optimum occurs at the midpoint of the projective dimension and reflects the dual symmetry of the lattice of projective subspaces. To analyze this behavior, we introduce a normalized objective function that compares recursion depths and reveals a unique maximum corresponding to the midpoint of the projective dimension. Theoretical analysis is supported by exact enumeration and asymptotic validation, confirming that the optimal depth is robust to lower-order perturbations and remains invariant under the natural duality of projective geometry. The proposed framework establishes a direct connection between symmetry properties of discrete geometric structures and optimality in nonlinear discrete systems. These results provide a unified perspective on recursive design constructions, revealing that symmetry not only governs combinatorial structure but also induces a mathematically inevitable optimal configuration. The approach opens new directions for studying symmetry-induced optimality in combinatorial geometry, discrete optimization, and related nonlinear mathematical models.

Abstract

Recursive constructions derived from finite projective geometries generate scalable families of resolvable block designs exhibiting strong algebraic regularity and intrinsic symmetry. In this work, we investigate the structural optimization of recursion depth in such constructions and demonstrate that the combinatorial growth of recursive chains is governed by a quadratic scaling law originating from the asymptotic expansion of Gaussian binomial coefficients. We show that the resulting exponent is strictly concave, which guarantees the existence and uniqueness of an optimal recursion depth. This optimum occurs at the midpoint of the projective dimension and reflects the dual symmetry of the lattice of projective subspaces. To analyze this behavior, we introduce a normalized objective function that compares recursion depths and reveals a unique maximum corresponding to the midpoint of the projective dimension. Theoretical analysis is supported by exact enumeration and asymptotic validation, confirming that the optimal depth is robust to lower-order perturbations and remains invariant under the natural duality of projective geometry. The proposed framework establishes a direct connection between symmetry properties of discrete geometric structures and optimality in nonlinear discrete systems. These results provide a unified perspective on recursive design constructions, revealing that symmetry not only governs combinatorial structure but also induces a mathematically inevitable optimal configuration. The approach opens new directions for studying symmetry-induced optimality in combinatorial geometry, discrete optimization, and related nonlinear mathematical models.
