Combinatorial Designs: Constructions and Analysis
by Douglas R. Stinson · Douglas R. Stinson
Upper-undergraduate and graduate text on the construction and analysis of combinatorial designs: balanced incomplete block designs, difference sets, symmetric designs, Latin squares, Hadamard matrices, resolvable designs, and t-designs, with applications to codes and cryptography. Readers learn standard construction techniques and existence results.
