2-$$(v,k,\lambda)$$ designs of small order. 2nd ed. (English) Zbl 1113.05016
Colbourn, Charles J. (ed.) et al., The CRC handbook of combinatorial designs. Boca Raton, FL: Chapman & Hall/CRC (ISBN 1-58488-506-8/hbk). Discrete Mathematics and its Applications, 25-58 (2007).
A complete table is given of existence results for balanced incomplete block designs with replication number at most 41, totalling nearly 1200 parameter sets. For each, bounds on the number of nonisomorphic designs for the specified parameter set, bounds on the number of nonisomorphic resolved designs, an informative comment about the parameter set, and references to obtain further information, are given. Supplementing the table are a useful glossary, and statement of major results on block designs, and numerous small examples.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1101.05001].
