Abstract

We show that the necessary divisibility conditions for the existence ofaσ-resolvable BIBD(v,k,λ) are sufficient for largev. The key idea isto form an auxiliary graph based on an [r,k]-configuration withr=σ,and then edge-decompose the completeλ-fold graphK(λ)vinto this graph.As a consequence, we initiate a similar existence theory for incompletedesigns with indexλ
