Super-simple (v,5,2)(v,5,2) directed designs and their smallest defining sets with its application in LDPC codes

In this paper, we show that for all $v\equiv 0,1$ (mod 5) and $v\geq 15$, there exists a super-simple $(v,5,2)$ directed design, also for these parameters there exists a super-simple $(v,5,2)$ directed design such that its smallest defining sets contain at least half of its blocks. Also, we show that these designs are useful in constructing parity-check matrices of LDPC codes.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1508.0009

Selected Papers in Combinatorics - a Volume Dedicated to R.G. Stanton

Professor Stanton has had a very illustrious career. His contributions to mathematics are varied and numerous. He has not only contributed to the mathematical literature as a prominent researcher but has fostered mathematics through his teaching and guidance of young people, his organizational skills and his publishing expertise. The following briefly addresses some of the areas where Ralph Stanton has made major contributions
