Abstract
In this paper we give some results on cyclic BIBDs with block size 4. It is proved that a cyclic B(4,1;4__^n^ u__) exists where u is a product of primes congruent to 1 modulo 6 and n is a positive integer and nββ₯β3. In the case of nβ=β2, we also give some partial results on the existence of a cyclic B(4,1;4^2^u) where u is a product of primes congruent to 1 modulo 6. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

For k ! 3 the existence problem forvY 7Y k BIBDs has been completely solved, except when v 253. In this paper, 3 new direct vY 7Y k BIBD constructions are given for vY k 259Y 1Y 106Y 2Y and 253Y 2. Some features of the known 175Y 7Y 1 BIBD are also discussed. Finally, a few vY 7Y 1 BIBDs are obtaine
## Abstract The necessary conditions for the existence of a resolvable BIBD RB(__k__,Ξ»; __v__) are Ξ»(__v__ β 1) = 0(mod __k__ β 1) and __v__ = 0(mod __k__). In this article, it is proved that these conditions are also sufficient for __k__ = 8 and Ξ» = 7, with at most 36 possible exceptions. Β© 1994 J
A direct construction is given for a cyclic difference family of (4p", 4,1)-design for all p E 13 (mod 24) and n 3 0. This corrects in part a construction due to Mathon for prime orders, and extends the construction to prime powers.
