Constructions of Sarvate-Beam Group Divisible Designs

Combinatorics 2022-01-05 v1

Abstract

A balanced incomplete block design is a set system in which all pairs of distinct elements occur with a constant frequency. By contrast, a Sarvate-Beam design induces an interval of distinct frequencies on pairs. In this paper, we settle the existence of a Sarvate-Beam variant of group divisible designs of uniform type with block size three.
