β¦ Synopsis
We survey the work on the classiΓΏcation problem of association schemes of small order. Our aim is to introduce some construction methods which simplify the description of known schemes, and provide the complete catalogue of all association schemes for a given order n, where n = 4; 5; : : : ; 15. Part of this work deals with the construction and enumeration of association schemes via Schur rings and two ways of tensoring association matrices; another part deals with the fusion relation of association schemes of a given order by using the notion of the wreath product and direct product of association schemes. The association schemes are presented in Hasse diagrams of partially ordered sets under the fusion relations. Our list includes, in particular, all symmetric association schemes, the source of partially balanced incomplete block designs with the corresponding number of treatments.

In this paper we determine all symmetric and non-symmetric 3-class association schemes such that for their adjacency matrices D i we have Hadamard matrix of order 16 (i.e. an Hadamard matrix consisting of 16 square blocks H i j of order 4 such that H ii = J 4 and H i j J 4 = J 4 H i j = 0). It appe
In this paper, we investigate the semisimplicity of adjacency algebras of association schemes over positive characteristic fields. Our main result is that the Frame number characterizes semisimplicity of an adjacency algebra. In a sense, this is a generalization of Maschke's theorem.
