Augmented orthogonal arrays (AOAs) were introduced by Stinson, who showed the equivalence between ideal ramp schemes and augmented orthogonal arrays (Discrete Math. 341 (2018), 299-307). In this paper, we show that there is an…
We show the existence of rigid combinatorial objects which previously were not known to exist. Specifically, for a wide range of the underlying parameters, we show the existence of non-trivial orthogonal arrays, $t$-designs, and $t$-wise…
Orthogonal arrays play a fundamental role in many applications. However, constructing orthogonal arrays with the required parameters for an application usually is extremely difficult and, sometimes, even impossible. Hence there is an…
Orthogonal arrays are a type of combinatorial design that were developed in the 1940s in the design of statistical experiments. In 1947, Rao proved a lower bound on the size of any orthogonal array, and raised the problem of constructing…

Orthogonal arrays are arguably one of the most fascinating and important statistical tools for efficient data collection. They have a simple, natural definition, desirable properties when used as fractional factorials, and a rich and…
In computer experiments, it has become a standard practice to select the inputs that spread out as uniformly as possible over the design space. The resulting designs are called space-filling designs and they are undoubtedly desirable…
We construct orthogonal arrays OA$_{\lambda} (k,n)$ (of strength two) having a row that is repeated $m$ times, where $m$ is as large as possible. In particular, we consider OAs where the ratio $m / \lambda$ is as large as possible; these…

Low-rank approximation of a matrix by means of random sampling has been consistently efficient in its empirical studies by many scientists who applied it with various sparse and structured multipliers, but adequate formal support for this…
Mixed level orthogonal arrays are basic structures in experimental design. We develop three algorithms that compute Rao and Gilbert-Varshamov type bounds for mixed level orthogonal arrays. The computational complexity of the terms involved…
In 2003 Peter Cameron introduced the concept of a Jordan scheme and asked whether there exist Jordan schemes which are not symmetrisations of coherent configurations (proper Jordan schemes). The question was answered affirmatively by the…
