Download or read book Combinatorial Designs and their Applications written by Kathleen Quinn and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fruit of a conference that gathered seven very active researchers in the field, Combinatorial Design and their Applications presents a wide but representative range of topics on the non-geometrical aspects of design theory. By concentrating on a few important areas, the authors succeed in providing greater detail in these areas in a more complete and accessible form. Through their contributions to this collection, they help fill a gap in the available combinatorics literature.The papers included in this volume cover recent developments in areas of current interest, such as difference sets, cryptography, and optimal linear codes. Researchers in combinatorics and other areas of pure mathematics, along with researchers in statistics and computer design will find in-depth, up-to-date discussions of design theory and the application of the theory to statistical design, codes, and cryptography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Combinatorial Designs aims to thoroughly develop the most important techniques used for constructing combinatorial designs. The book provides a detailed and clear exposition of the classical core of combinatorial designs, treating the material progressively from simple to more complex. Readers will master various construction techniques, both classic and modern, and will be well prepared to build a vast array of combinatorial designs. The main prerequisites are familiarity with basic abstract algebra, linear algebra and some number theory fundamentals."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Handbook of Combinatorial Designs written by Charles J. Colbourn and published by CRC-Press. This book was released on 1996-02-21 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive, accessible reference contains all the facts on combinatorial designs. It includes constructions of designs, existence results and properties of designs. Organized into six main parts, The CRC Handbook of Combinatorial Designs covers block design; orthogonal arrays and latin squares; pairwise balanced designs; association schemes; mappings and sequencings; costas arrays; factorial designs; partial geometries; extensive applications of design theory; experimental design; coding theory; cryptography; and general reference tools used for design theory. Although the text emphasizes basic information on combinatorial design, it includes material at the research frontier, maintaining a balance of topics for those actively involved in research.

Download or read book Handbook of Combinatorial Designs written by C. J. Colbourn and published by Chapman and Hall/CRC. This book was released on 2006-11-02 with total page 1016 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuing in the bestselling, informative tradition of the first edition, the Handbook of Combinatorial Designs, Second Edition remains the only resource to contain all of the most important results and tables in the field of combinatorial design. This handbook covers the constructions, properties, and applications of designs as well as existence results. Over 30% longer than the first edition, the book builds upon the groundwork of its predecessor while retaining the original contributors' expertise. The first part contains a brief introduction and history of the subject. The following parts focus on four main classes of combinatorial designs: balanced incomplete block designs, orthogonal arrays and Latin squares, pairwise balanced designs, and Hadamard and orthogonal designs. Closely connected to the preceding sections, the next part surveys 65 additional classes of designs, such as balanced ternary, factorial, graphical, Howell, quasi-symmetric, and spherical. The final part presents mathematical and computational background related to design theory. New to the Second Edition An introductory part that provides a general overview and a historical perspective of the area New chapters on the history of design theory, various codes, bent functions, and numerous types of designs Fully updated tables, including BIBDs, MOLS, PBDs, and Hadamard matrices Nearly 2,200 references in a single bibliographic section Meeting the need for up-to-date and accessible tabular and reference information, this handbook provides the tools to understand combinatorial design theory and applications that span the entire discipline. The author maintains a website with more information.

Book excerpt: Haim Hanani pioneered the techniques for constructing designs and the theory of pairwise balanced designs, leading directly to Wilson's Existence Theorem. He also led the way in the study of resolvable designs, covering and packing problems, latin squares, 3-designs and other combinatorial configurations. The Hanani volume is a collection of research and survey papers at the forefront of research in combinatorial design theory, including Professor Hanani's own latest work on Balanced Incomplete Block Designs. Other areas covered include Steiner systems, finite geometries, quasigroups, and t-designs.

Download or read book Block Designs written by Damaraju Raghavarao and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2005 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combinatorial mathematicians and statisticians have made a wide range of contributions to the development of block designs, and this book brings together much of that work. The designs developed for a specific problem are used in a variety of different settings. Applications include controlled sampling, randomized response, validation and valuation studies, intercropping experiments, brand cross-effect designs, lotto and tournaments.The intra- and inter- block, nonparametric and covariance analysis are discussed for general block designs, and the concepts of connectedness, orthogonality, and all types of balances in designs are carefully summarized. Readers are also introduced to the designs currently playing a prominent role in the field: alpha designs, trend-free designs, balanced treatment-control designs, nearest neighbor designs, and nested designs.This book provides the important background results required by researchers in block designs and related areas and prepares them for more complex research on the subject.
