BIB Designs with Repeated Blocks
Abstract: The Fisher related information of a balanced block design will remain invariant
whether or not the design has repeated blocks. This fact can be used
theoretically to build a large number of non-isomorphic designs for the same set
of design parameters. Further, as it has been shown by UIC researchers and many
others later designs with repeated blocks could be used for many different
purposes both in experimentations and surveys from finite populations. In this
talk the subject will be briefly reviewed and new results on the existence and
construction of such designs will be presented. Several unsolved problems for
further research will be presented.
