Construction of Group Divisible Designs

Resolvable Group Divisible Designs with Large Groups

We prove that the necessary divisibility conditions are sufficient for the existence of resolvable group divisible designs with a fixed number of sufficiently large groups. Our method combines an application of the Rees product construction with a streamlined recursion based on incomplete transversal designs. With similar techniques, we also obtain new results on decompositions of complete mult...

Group divisible designs with block size four and two groups

We give some constructions of new infinite families of group divisible designs, GDD(n, 2, 4; 1, 2), including one which uses the existence of Bhaskar Rao designs. We show the necessary conditions are sufficient for 3 n 8. For n= 10 there is one missing critical design. If 1> 2, then the necessary conditions are sufficient for n ≡ 4, 5, 8 (mod 12). For each of n=10, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 we...

A New Method for Construction of MV-optimal Generalized Group Divisible Designs with two Groups

In this article, we consider the construction of generalized group divisible designs with two groups (GGDD (2)) from balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD). We also discuss MV-optimality of these designs.

Divisible designs with dual translation group

Many different divisible designs are already known. Some of them possess remarkable automorphism groups, so called dual translation groups. The existence of such an automorphism group enables us to characterize its associated divisible design as being isomorphic to a substructure of a finite affine space.
