“…An n × q matrix S is called an SLHD with s slices, denoted by SL(n, q, s), if S is an L(n, q) and can be partitioned into s slices each of which is an L(m, q) with m = n∕s after the n levels are collapsed to m equally spaced levels according to ⌈i∕s⌉ for level i, where ⌈a⌉ means the smallest integer greater than or equal to a. SLHDs inherit the good property of LHDs, that is, they possess maximum stratification in any one dimension as well as their slices. Further studies on SLHDs include some constructions ensuring good projection in more than one dimension or orthogonality between columns, that is, Yang, Lin, Qian, and Lin [5]; Huang, Yang, and Liu [6]; Cao and Liu [7]; and Yang, Chen, Lin, and Liu [8] proposed methods to construct orthogonal and nearly orthogonal SLHDs. Yin, Lin, and Liu [9] constructed SLHDs with an attractive low-dimensional stratification via orthogonal arrays, and Yang, Chen, and Liu [10] obtained SLHDs based on resolvable orthogonal arrays.…”
