Existence of balanced incomplete block designs for many sets of treatments

چکیده
A range of methods is presented for the recursive construction of sets of orthogonal balanced incomplete block designs. To enable these methods, some new types of designs are de1ned. Some examples of these are given, and pairs of orthogonal BIBDs constructed for k =3; =2, for all but 12 values of v where v ≡ 0; 1 (mod 3) with v¿ 6. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Existence of OBIBDs with k=4 with and without nesting
Methods developed for the recursive construction of sets of balanced incomplete block designs with adjusted orthogonality (OBIBDs) are applied to designs with block size 4, with 2 sets of treatments. The methods are extended to include designs with blocks of size 4 nested into sub-blocks of size 2. We also complete the existence results of Greig and Rees for OBIBDs with block size 3 and 2 sets ...
متن کاملPolygonal Designs: Existence and Construction
Polygonal designs form a special class of partially balanced incomplete block designs. We resolve the existence problem for polygonal designs with various parameter sets and present several construction methods with blocks of small sizes.
متن کاملBalanced nested designs and balanced arrays
Balanced nested designs are closely related to other combinatorial structures such as balanced arrays and balanced n-ary designs. In particular, the existence of symmetric balanced nested designs is equivalent to the existence of some balanced arrays. In this paper, various constructions for symmetric balanced nested designs are provided. They are used to determine the spectrum of symmetric bal...
متن کاملSome existence and construction results of polygonal designs
This paper revisits the existence and construction problems for polygonal designs (a special class of partially balanced incomplete block designs associated with regular polygons). We present new polygonal designs with various parameter sets by explicit construction. In doing so we employ several construction methods – some conventional and some new. We also establish a link between a class of ...
متن کاملBeautifully Ordered Balanced Incomplete Block Designs
Beautifully Ordered Balanced Incomplete Block Designs, BOBIBD(v, k, λ, k1, λ1), are defined and the proof is given to show that necessary conditions are sufficient for the existence of BOBIBD with block size k=3 and k1=2 and for k=4 and k1=2 except possibly for eleven exceptions. Existence of BOBIBDs with block size k=4 and k1=3 is demonstrated for all but one infinite family and the non-existe...
