In this paper we study optimality aspects of a certain type of designs in a multi-way heterogeneity setting. These are ``duals" of plans orthogonal through the block factor (POTB). Here by the dual of a main effect plan (say $\rho$) we mean…
The concept of orthogonality through the block factor (OTB), defined in Bagchi (2010), is extended here to orthogonality through a set (say S) of other factors. We discuss the impact of such an orthogonality on the precision of the…
In Bagchi (2010) main effect plans "orthogonal through the block factor" (POTB) have been constructed. The main advantages of a POTB are that (a) it may exist in a set up where an "usual" orthogonal main effect plan (OMEP) cannot exist and…
In the present paper we construct plans orthogonal through the block factor (POTBs). We describe procedures for adding blocks as well as factors to an initial plan and thus generate a bigger plan. Using these procedures we construct POTBs…
Balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs) are a class of designs with v treatments and b blocks of size k that are optimal with regards to a wide range of optimality criteria, but it is not clear which designs to choose for combinations of…
Two-level designs are widely used for screening experiments where the goal is to identify a few active factors which have major effects. Orthogonal two-level designs in which all factors are level-balance and each of the four level…
In this paper we define the concept of orthogonality between two factors "through another factor". Exploiting this property we have been able to obtain orthogonal main effect plans (OMEP) on non-orthogonal blocks requiring considerably…
Optimal block designs for additive models achieve their efficiency by dividing experimental units among relatively homogenous blocks and allocating treatments equally to blocks. Responses in many modern experiments, however, are drawn from…
Two-level factorial designs are widely used in industrial experiments. For processes involving \(n\) factors, the construction of designs comprising \(2^n\) and \(2^{n-p}\) factorials, arranged in blocks of size \(2^q\) is investigated. The…
Designs for Order-of-Addition (OofA) experiments have received growing attention due to their impact on responses based on the sequence of component addition. In certain cases, these experiments involve heterogeneous groups of units, which…
Orthogonal designs are fundamental mathematical notions used in the construction of space time block codes for wireless transmissions. Designs have two important parameters, the rate and the decoding delay; the main problem of the theory is…
Complex orthogonal designs (CODs) play a crucial role in the construction of space-time block codes. Their real analog, real orthogonal designs (or equivalently, sum of squares composition formula) have a long history. Adams et al. (2011)…
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…
Using translation from the regular block, we construct and analyze properties of BGG complexes in singular blocks of BGG category ${\mathcal{O}}$. We provide criteria, in terms of the Kazhdan-Lusztig-Vogan polynomials, for such complexes to…
This is the first paper that provides a systematic treatment of the $r$-dimensional PTE problem in additive number theory, abbreviated by PTE$_r$, through its connection with combinatorial design theory, the branch of combinatorial…
The dimension of a block design is the maximum positive integer $d$ such that any $d$ of its points are contained in a proper subdesign. Pairwise balanced designs PBD$(v,K)$ have dimension at least two as long as not all points are on the…
We investigate block designs, under the A- and MV-criteria, when each treatment can have only one or two replications due to resource constraints, as can happen, for example, in early generation varietal trials. While these are commonly…
A new class of two-level non-regular fractional factorial designs is defined. We call this class an {\it affinely full-dimensional factorial design}, meaning that design points in the design of this class are not contained in any affine…
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…
The interference model has been widely used and studied in block experiments where the treatment for a particular plot has effects on its neighbor plots. In this paper, we study optimal circular designs for the proportional interference…
