Handbook of Combinatorial Designs (2nd ed)

This comprehensive handbook surveys all aspects of combinatorial designs, including constructions of designs, existence results, and properties of designs.

The first edition quickly became the standard reference in the field, and this second edition was updated, revised, and expanded to reflect recent developments.

It features new and expanded sections on such topics as authentication codes, permutation polynomials, and threshold schemes.

Extended coverage in the area of coding and communications features new applications from the fields of cryptography, computer science, and electrical engineering.

This text also contains current tables of BIBDs, PBDs, MOLS, and Hadamard matrices.
