โฆ Synopsis
In this paper an inequality for the smallest positive eigenvalues of the _C-matrix of a block design are derived. This inequality is a generalization of a result by CONSTANTINE (1982) to the caw of unequal block sizes. On the basis of the above result a certain E-optimality criterium of block designs is given. Furthermore coefficient ed has been introduced which permits to assess how close the block design is from the optimal one.

An a-resolvable BIBD is a BIBD with the property that the blocks can be partitioned into disjoint classes such that every class contains each point of the design exactly times. In this paper, we show that the necessary conditions for the existence of -resolvable designs with block size four are sufยฎ
We determine a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a cyclic {3} -GDD with a uniform group size g. Recursive and new computational methods are introduced to settle this problem completely.
