Geometrical structure of dual designs

Geometrical structure of dual designs

The purpose of this study is to discuss some dual designs of balanced incomplete block designs and of partially balanced incomplete block designs. Furthermore, an attempt is made to give relations between the parameters of balanced and unbalanced incomplete block designs, and properties of finite projective geometries and related geometries.
