We present two direct product-type constructions which will prove useful in the construction of resolvable designs. We use our constructions to complete the spectrum for resolvable groupdivisible designs with block size three, as well as to give a short proof of the existence of decompositions of &,, into a one-factors and b triangle-factors for any a, b, n with a + 2b = 6n -1 and a > 1. 0 1 9 9 3 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
We investigate the spectrum for {4}-GDDs of type g u m
1. We determine, for each admissible pair (g, u) (with some exceptions), the maximum and minimum values of m for which a {4}-GDD of type g u m 1 exists.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
