Combinatorial designs are closely related to linear codes. In recent year, there are a lot of $t$-designs constructed from certain linear codes. In this paper, we aim to construct $2$-designs from binary three-weight codes. For any binary…
Binary self-orthogonal codes and balanced incomplete block designs are two combinatorial configurations that have been much studied because of their wide areas of application. In this paper, we have shown the distribution of (16; 6;…
We give explicit constructions for incomplete pairwise balanced designs IPBD$((v;w),K)$, or, equivalently, edge-decompositions of a difference of two cliques $K_v \setminus K_w$ into cliques whose sizes belong to the set $K$. Our…
A \textbf{double-change covering design} (DCCD) is a $v$-set $V$ and an ordered list $\mathcal{L}$ of $b$ blocks of size $k$ where every pair from $V$ must occur in at least one block and each pair of consecutive blocks differs by exactly…
Recently, a construction of group divisible designs (GDDs) derived from the decoding of quadratic residue (QR) codes was given. In this paper, we extend the idea to obtain a new family of GDDs, which is also involved with a well-known…
A Ryser design $\mathcal{D}$ on $v$ points is a collection of $v$ proper subsets (called blocks) of a point-set with $v$ points satisfying (i) every two blocks intersect each other in $\lambda$ points for a fixed $\lambda < v$ (ii) there…
It has been known for a long time that $t$-designs can be employed to construct both linear and nonlinear codes and that the codewords of a fixed weight in a code may hold a $t$-design. While a lot of progress in the direction of…
Looking at incidence matrices of $t$-$(v,k,\lambda)$ designs as $v \times b$ matrices with $2$ possible entries, each of which indicates incidences of a $t$-design, we introduce the notion of a $c$-mosaic of designs, having the same number…
Generalized $t$-designs, which form a common generalization of objects such as $t$-designs, resolvable designs and orthogonal arrays, were defined by Cameron [P.J. Cameron, A generalisation of $t$-designs, \emph{Discrete Math.}\ {\bf 309}…
In computational design and fabrication, neural networks are becoming important surrogates for bulky forward simulations. A long-standing, intertwined question is that of inverse design: how to compute a design that satisfies a desired…
One of the best things about geometry is that it's cool! Geometry enables us to create incredible designs and astounding patterns. This article shows how to use a simple technique (iteration) to create designs that are both cool and…
In this article, three types of joins are introduced for subspaces of a vector space. Decompositions of the Gra{\ss}mannian into joins are discussed. This framework admits a generalization of large set recursion methods for block designs to…
Layout is a fundamental component of any graphic design. Creating large varieties of plausible document layouts can be a tedious task, requiring numerous constraints to be satisfied, including local ones relating different semantic elements…
This paper gives a construction of group divisible designs on the binary extension fields with block sizes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively, which is motivated from the decoding of binary quadratic residue codes. A conjecture is proposed for…
Combinatorial $t$-designs have nice applications in coding theory, finite geometries and several engineering areas. The objective of this paper is to study how to obtain $3$-designs with $2$-transitive permutation groups. The incidence…
Optimal block designs in small blocks are explored when the treatments have a natural ordering and interest lies in comparing consecutive pairs of treatments. We first develop an approximate theory which leads to a convenient multiplicative…
Recently, several deep learning-based image super-resolution methods have been developed by stacking massive numbers of layers. However, this leads too large model sizes and high computational complexities, thus some recursive…
We generalise the existence of combinatorial designs to the setting of subset sums in lattices with coordinates indexed by labelled faces of simplicial complexes. This general framework includes the problem of decomposing hypergraphs with…
Empirical studies on design have emphasised the role of memory of past solutions. Design involves the use of generic knowledge as well as episodic knowledge about past designs for analogous problems : in this way, it involves the reuse of…
Augmented block designs for unreplicated test treatments are investigated under the A- and MV-criteria with respect to control versus control, test versus test and control versus test comparisons. We derive design-independent lower bounds…
