Title
An existence theory for pairwise balanced designs, III: Proof of the existence conjectures
Abstract
Given positive integers k and λ, balanced incomplete block designs on v points with block size k and index λ exist for all sufficiently large integers v satisfying the congruences λ(v − 1) ≡ 0 (mod k − 1) and λv(v − 1) ≡ 0 (mod k(k − 1)). Analogous results hold for pairwise balanced designs where the block sizes come from a given set K of positive integers. We also observe that the number of nonisomorphic designs on v points with given block size k > 2 and index λ tends to infinity as v increases (subject to the above congruences).
