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…
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…
There is a one-to-one correspondence between the point set of a group divisible design (GDD) with $v_1$ groups of $v_2$ points and the edge set of a complete bipartite graph $K_{v_1,v_2}$. A block of GDD corresponds to a subgraph of…
This paper introduces a new systematic algorithm for constructing periodic Euclidean weaving diagrams with combinatorial arguments. It is shown that such a weaving diagram can be considered as a specific type of four-regular periodic planar…
We consider the problem of learning the structure of a pairwise graphical model over continuous and discrete variables. We present a new pairwise model for graphical models with both continuous and discrete variables that is amenable to…
Wilson lines, being comparators that render non-local operator products gauge invariant, are extensively used in QCD calculations, especially in small-$x$ calculations, calculations concerning validation of factorisation schemes and in…
Group sequential design (GSD) is widely used in clinical trials in which correlated tests of multiple hypotheses are used. Multiple primary objectives resulting in tests with known correlations include evaluating 1) multiple experimental…
We prove that for any $K$ and $d$, there exist, for all sufficiently large admissible $v$, a pairwise balanced design PBD$(v,K)$ of dimension $d$ for which all $d$-point-generated flats are bounded by a constant independent of $v$. We also…
This work presents a recursive construction for simple $t$-designs using resolutions of the ingredient designs. The result extends a construction of $t$-designs in our recent paper [39]. Essentially, the method in [39] describes the blocks…
We consider a generalization of the notion of partially balanced incomplete block designs (PBIBDs), by relaxing the requirement that the underlying association scheme be commutative. An infinite family of such generalizations is…
The dimension of a linear space is the maximum positive integer $d$ such that any $d$ of its points generate a proper subspace. For a set $K$ of integers at least two, recall that a pairwise balanced design PBD$(v,K)$ is a linear space on…
In this paper, using group actions, we introduce a new method for constructing partial geometric designs (sometimes referred to as $1\frac{1}{2}$-designs). Using this new method, we construct several infinite families of partial geometric…
Balancedly splittable Hadamard matrices are introduced and studied. A connection is made to the Hadamard diagonalizable strongly regular graphs, maximal equiangular lines set, and unbiased Hadamard matrices. Several construction methods are…
The electronic design industry has undergone a significant transformation, transitioning from traditional hand-drawn designs to modern automated design processes. While Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools emerged alongside the electronic…
The generalised balanced power diagram (GBPD) is regarded in the literature as a suitable geometric model for describing polycrystalline microstructures with curved grain boundaries. This article compiles properties of GBPDs with regard to…
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…
Unbalanced data arises in many learning tasks such as clustering of multi-class data, hierarchical divisive clustering and semisupervised learning. Graph-based approaches are popular tools for these problems. Graph construction is an…
Tilings of the plane resemble the simplicial and other complexes from algebraic topology, but have not been studied from this perspective. We construct finite categories corresponding to polygons with labeled directed edges, and introduce…
This paper presents a novel paradigm in simulation-based engineering sciences by introducing a new framework called Generative Parametric Design (GPD). The GPD framework enables the generation of new designs along with their corresponding…
Within the framework of Gaussian graphical models, a prior distribution for the underlying graph is introduced to induce a block structure in the adjacency matrix of the graph and learning relationships between fixed groups of variables. A…
