Some recent developments on BIBDs and related designs (Q1313979)

The paper presents an interesting survey of constructions of BIBDs, resolvable BIBDs, GDDs, packing and covering designs. The GDDs considered here are a special case of GD designs whose definition, some methods of constructions and tables are provided by \textit{W. J. Clatworthy} [Tables of two-associate-class partially balanced designs, NBS Applied Mathematics Series. 63. Washington: U. S. Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards. IX (1973; Zbl 0289.05017)]. A list of new group divisible designs obtained after the publication of tables of Clatworthy, is given in \textit{K. Sinha} [J. Res. Natl. Inst. Stand. Technol. 96, No. 5, 613-615 (1991)].
