Resolvable (r, λ)-designs and the Fisher inequality
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Abstract
It is well known that in any (v, b, r, k, λ) resolvable balanced incomplete block design that b≧ ν + r − l with equality if and only if the design is affine resolvable. In this paper, we show that a similar inequality holds for resolvable regular pairwise balanced designs ((ρ, λ)-designs) and we characterize those designs for which equality holds. From this characterization, we deduce certain results about block intersections in (ρ, λ)-designs.
