✦ Synopsis

We present a method for the construction of universally optimal b 1 × b 2 row-column design with some empty nodes. The proposed method yields structurally balanced universally optimal designs for v treatments when v = mk + 1 is an odd prime or prime power number with even k ¿ 2. The construction technique utilizes previously known di erence sets of balanced incomplete block designs.
