The existence of partitioned balanced tournament designs

Combinatorics 2021-12-13 v1

Abstract

E. R. Lamken prove in [5] that there exists a partitioned balanced tournament design of side nn, PBTD(nn), for nn a positive integer, n5n \ge 5, except possibly for n{9,11,15}n \in \{9,11,15\}. In this article, we show the existence of PBTD(nn) for n{9,11,15}n \in \{9,11,15\}. As a consequence, the existence of PBTD(nn) has been completely determined.
