ABSTRACT

BIBD with the parameters of D. If not, sets of n+1 blocks are considered, and so on, until an SDS is found. Such algorithms require a completion program and techniques involving trades (Theorem 13.3) and find only SDSs of D. A later algorithm [1067] avoids these requirements. From a list of all designs with the same parameters as a given design D, it finds in one pass all MDSs of D.
