A pairwise balanced design, $B(K;v)$, is a block design on $v$ points, with block sizes taken from $K$, and with every pair of points occurring in a unique block; for a fixed $K$, $B(K)$ is the set of all $v$ for which a $B(K;v)$ exists. A set, $S$, is a PBD-basis for the set, $T$, if $T=B(S)$. Let $N_{a(m)}=\{n:n\equiv a\bmod m\}$, and $N_{\geq m}=\{n:n\geq m\}$; with $Q$ the corresponding restriction of $N$ to prime powers. This paper addresses the existence of three PBD-basis sets. 1. It is shown that $Q_{1(8)}$ is a basis for $N_{1(8)}\setminus E$, where $E$ is a set of 5 definite and 117 possible exceptions. 2. We construct a 78 element basis for $N_{1(8)}$ with, at most, 64 inessential elements. 3. Bennett and Zhu have shown that $Q_{\geq8}$ is a basis for $N_{\geq8}\setminus E'$, where $E'$ is a set of 43 definite and 606 possible exceptions. Their result is improved to 48 definite and 470 possible exceptions. (Constructions for 35 of these possible exceptions are known.) Finally, we provide brief details of some improvements and corrections to the generating/exception sets published in The CRC Handbook of Combinatorial Designs.

AbstractIt is well known that in any (v, b, r, k, λ) resolvable balanced incomplete block design that b≧ ν + r − l with equality if and only if the design is affine resolvable. In this paper, we show that a similar inequality holds for resolvable regular pairwise balanced designs ((ρ, λ)-designs) and we characterize those designs for which equality holds. From this characterization, we deduce certain results about block intersections in (ρ, λ)-designs.

In this paper we determine completely the spectra of directed pairwise balanced designs with block sizes from any subset of {3, 4, …, 10} which contains 3. Such designs can be used to construct single-deletion/insertion-correcting codes in which the lengths of the codewords may be different.
