LDPC Codes on Balanced Incomplete Block Designs: Construction, Girth, and Cycle Structure Analysis [PDF]
EntropyIn this paper, we investigate the cycle structure inherent in the Tanner graphs of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes constructed from balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs).

Construction of Binary Locally Repairable Codes with Nonuniform Locality and Availability Using Combinatorial Designs [PDF]
EntropyIn this paper, we generalize the construction of locally repairable codes (LRCs) by leveraging pairwise balanced designs (PBDs) and balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs) to construct codes with nonuniform locality or nonuniform availability.

Analysis of Covariance of Reinforced Balanced Incomplete Block Designs With a Single Explanatory Variable [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2014 Reinforced balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs) are very useful in statistical planning of experiments as they can be constructed for any number of treatments for given numbers of replications.

Balanced incomplete block designs: selected business-related applications and usage caveats [PDF]
Innovative Marketing, 2016 Whenever respondents must rank-order a large number of items and/or the reliability of their rankings may be questionable, balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs) represent a more effective means for doing so than either complete rankings or paired ...

Block Intersections in Balanced Incomplete Block Designs [PDF]
Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, 1964 One of the most interesting of the smaller BIBD's is the system (8, 14, 7, 4, 3), where we write the parameters in the standard order v, b, r, k, λ. One representation of a design with these parameters is 1248, 3567; 2358, 1467; 3468, 1257; 4578, 1236; 5618,2347; 6728,1345; 7138,2456.
