The 2-adjugate mod 2 class of designs

AbstractIn this paper we define a 2-adjugate mod 2 class of designs obtained by application of process of 2-adjugation to the incidence matrix of given design and subsequently reducing to modulo 2. General properties of such designs are discussed and its application to the class of unreduced Balanced Incomplete Block Designs is investigated in detail. It is found that in this case we obtain a class of generalized partially balanced incomplete block designs with 2 associate classes and with triangular association scheme, but with unequal block sizes
