Orthogonal Resolutions and Latin Squares

Topalova, Svetlana, Zhelezova, Stela (2013)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Resolutions which are orthogonal to at least one other resolution (RORs) and sets of m mutually orthogonal resolutions (m-MORs) of 2-(v, k, λ) designs are considered. A dependence of the number of nonisomorphic RORs and m-MORs of multiple designs on the number of inequivalent sets of v/k − 1 mutually orthogonal latin squares (MOLS) of size m is obtained. ACM Computing Classification System (1998): G.2.1.∗ This work was partially supported by the Bulgarian National Science Fund under Contract No...

Overlapping latin subsquares and full products

Joshua M. Browning, Petr Vojtěchovský, Ian M. Wanless (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for there to exist a latin square of order n containing two subsquares of order a and b that intersect in a subsquare of order c . We also solve the case of two disjoint subsquares. We use these results to show that: (a) A latin square of order n cannot have more than n m n h / m h subsquares of order m , where h = ( m + 1 ) / 2 . Indeed, the number of subsquares of order m is bounded by a polynomial of degree at most 2 m + 2 in n . (b) For all n 5 there exists a loop of order n in which every...

Packings of pairs with a minimum known number of quadruples

Jiří Novák (1995)

Mathematica Bohemica

Let E be an n -set. The problem of packing of pairs on E with a minimum number of quadruples on E is settled for n < 15 and also for n = 36 t + i , i = 3 , 6 , 9 , 12 , where t is any positive integer. In the other cases of n methods have been presented for constructing the packings having a minimum known number of quadruples.

Parallel Class Intersection Matrices of Orthogonal Resolutions

Zhelezova, Stela (2008)

Serdica Journal of Computing

This work was partially supported by the Bulgarian National Science Fund under Contract No MM 1405. Part of the results were announced at the Fifth International Workshop on Optimal Codes and Related Topics (OCRT), White Lagoon, June 2007, BulgariaParallel class intersection matrices (PCIMs) have been defined and used in [6], [14], [15] for the classification of resolvable designs with several parameter sets. Resolutions which have orthogonal resolutions (RORs) have been classified in [19] for designs...
