Further Contributions to the Theory of F-Squares Design,

Abstract

The main purpose of the paper is to obtain the best possible bound on the number of orthogonal F-squares with certain parameters and to give a construction method for some families of orthogonal F-squares which achieve this bound. Also, presented is a set of four mutually orthogonal F-squares of order 6 based on three symbols. This later design is important because there is no orthogonal Latin squares of order 6 which could be used for this purpose as has been pointed out by Hedayat and Seiden (1970). The authors indicate a method of composing orthogonal F-squares. It is shown under what condition a set of orthogonal F-squares can be transformed into an orthogonal array, a structure which is useful for factorial experimentation. (Modified author abstract)
