Building upon the work of Wei and Ge (Designs, Codes, and Cryptography 74, 2015), we extend the range of positive integer parameters g, u, and m for which group divisible designs with block size 4 and type gum1 are known to exist. In particular, we show that the necessary conditions for the existence of these designs when m>0 and m≠g are sufficient in the following cases: g≡0( mod 6), g=2 with one exception, 2651, g=10, and g=11.
The design spectrum has been determined for two of the 15 graphs with six vertices and ten edges. In this paper we completely solve the design spectrum problem for a further eight of these graphs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
