Balanced Nested Designs and Balanced n-ary Designs

چکیده
We introduce here two types of balanced nested designs (BND), which are called symmetric and pair-sum BNDs. In this paper, we give a construction for pair-sum BNDs of BIBDs from nested BIBDs and perpendicular arrays. We also give some direct constructions for pair-sum BNDs of BIBDs, based on the result obtained by Wilson (1972). By use of these constructions, we show some constructions for regular balanced n-ary designs. AMS classification : Primary 05B05; secondary 62K10

Balanced 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 کاملCrossing balanced and stair nested designs
Balanced nesting is the most usual form of nesting and originates, when used singly or with crossing of such sub-models, orthogonal models. In balanced nesting we are forced to divide repeatedly the plots and we have few degrees of freedom for the first levels. If we apply stair nesting we will have plots all of the same size rendering the designs easier to apply. The stair nested designs are a...

متن کاملOn construction of partially balanced n-ary designs
A new method of constructing a series of partially balanced ternary (PBT) designs is presented. In the method, we have added the corresponding rows of incidence matrices of a BIB design and a PBIB design, both obtained from single initial block with at least one element in common between them. The BIB and PBIB designs above were obtained by method of differences. We have also constructed PBT de...
متن کاملNested balanced ternary designs and Bhaskar Rao designs
In this paper, we consider balanced ternary designs, BTDs, in which every block contains one element singly and the rest doubly. We call these packed BTDs, and we investigate three aspects of these designs: existence, nestings and signings. Construction methods generate classes of packed BTDs that are nested with balanced (BIBD) or partially balanced (PBIBD) incomplete block designs. Some of th...
