Title
Existence of generalized Bhaskar Rao designs with block size 3
Abstract
There are well-known necessary conditions for the existence of a generalized Bhaskar Rao design over a group G, with block size k=3. The recently proved Hall-Paige conjecture shows that these are sufficient when v=3 and @l=|G|. We prove these conditions are sufficient in general when v=3, and also when |G| is small, or when G is dicyclic. We summarize known results supporting the conjecture that these necessary conditions are always sufficient when k=3.
