Abstract

A multi-dimensional design is most easily constructed via the amalgamation of one-dimensional component block designs. However, not all sets of component designs are compatible to be amalgamated. The conditions for compatibility are related to the concept of a complete matching in a graph. In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for unequal-replicate designs. Two types of conditions are proposed; one is based on the number of verices adjacent to at least one vertex and the other is ona a degree of vertex, in a bipartite graph. The former is an extension of the sufficient conditions of equal-replicate designs given by Dean an Lewis (1988).
