Abstract : A directed triple system of order $v$, denoted by $DTS(v)$, is said to be $k$--near rotational if it admits an automorphism consisting of exactly three fixed elements and $k$ cycles of length $\frac{v-3}{k}$. In this paper, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of $k$--near rotational $DTS(v)$s for every positive integer $k$.
Keywords : directed triple system, automorphism of a directed triple system
