A Mendelsohn triple system of order v(MTS(v))is a pair(X,B)where X is a v-set andB is a collection of cyclic triples on X such that every ordered pair of X belongs to exactly one tripleof B.An MTS(v)(X,B)is called pure and denoted by PMTS(v)if x,y,z∈B implies z,y,x∈B.A large set of MTS(v)s(LMTS(v))is a collection of v-2 pairwise disjoint MTS(v)s on a v-set.Aself-converse large set of PMTS(v)s,denoted by LPMTS*(v),is an LMTS(v)containing [v-2/2]conversepairs of PMTS(v)s.In this paper,some results about the existence and non-existence for LPMTS*(v)are obtained.
