The purpose of this article is twofold. First, it is shown that classical inversive planes of even order can be used to construct a class of 2 -(2 2n +1, 2 n , 2 n -1) near resolvable designs, in which any two blocks have at most 2 points in common. Secondly, it is shown that a recursive constructio

Abstract
A (Ξ½, k, kβ1) near resolvable block design (NRBD) is rβrotational over a group G if it admits G as an automorphism group of order (Ξ½β1)/r fixing exactly one point and acting semiregularly on the others. We give direct and recursive constructions for rotational NRBDs with particular attention to 1βrotational ones. Β© 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Combin Designs 9: 157β181, 2001

A near resolvable design, NRB(v, k), is a balanced incomplete block design whose block set can be partitioned into v classes such that each class contains every point of the design but one, and each point is missing from exactly one class. The necessary conditions for the existence of near resolvabl
## Abstract We present two direct productβtype constructions which will prove useful in the construction of resolvable designs. We use our constructions to complete the spectrum for resolvable groupβdivisible designs with block size three, as well as to give a short proof of the existence of decomp
