For a given block size, replication, and number of treatments, it is well known that a balanced incomplete block design, if one exists, is of maximum efficiency. We take the case of an even number of ...

Even when a parameter set (v, k, λ) satisfies the necessary conditions for the existence of a Balanced Incomplete Block (BIB) design, the actual design may not exist or its existence may be unknown.

In most design companies, the chip-level physical implementation teams responsible for design floorplanning in place and route (P&R) environments also manage top-level physical verification from the ...
