On a characterization of symmetric balanced incomplete block designs

R.N. Mohan, Sanpei Kageyama, M.M. Nair (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

All the symmetric balanced incomplete block (SBIB) designs have been characterized and a new generalized expression on parameters of SBIB designs has been obtained. The parameter b has been formulated in a different way which is denoted by bi, i = 1, 2, 3, associating with the types of the SBIB design Di. The parameters of all the designs obtained through this representation have been tabulated while corresponding them with the suitable formulae for the number ofblocks bi and the expression Si for...

On a class of commutative groupoids determined by their associativity triples

Aleš Drápal (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let G = G ( · ) be a commutative groupoid such that { ( a , b , c ) G 3 ; a · b c a b · c } = { ( a , b , c ) G 3 ; a = b c or a b = c } . Then G is determined uniquely up to isomorphism and if it is finite, then card ( G ) = 2 i for an integer i 0 .

On a construction of regular Hadamard matrices

David Benjamin Meisner (1992)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We give a construction for regular Hadamard matrices of order a 2 v where a 1 is the order of a Hadamard matrix and v is the order of a regular Hadamard matrix. The construction can be used to construct regular Hadamard matrices with special properties and includes several constructions which have been given previously. In the final section we consider the case a = 2 in more detail.

On a discrete version of the antipodal theorem

Krzysztof Oleszkiewicz (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The classical theorem of Borsuk and Ulam [2] says that for any continuous mapping f : S k k there exists a point x S k such that f(-x) = f(x). In this note a discrete version of the antipodal theorem is proved in which S k is replaced by the set of vertices of a high-dimensional cube equipped with Hamming’s metric. In place of equality we obtain some optimal estimates of i n f x | | f ( x ) - f ( - x ) | | which were previously known (as far as the author knows) only for f linear (cf. [1]).
