Combinatorial Designs and their Applications

<p>The fruit of a conference that gathered seven very active researchers in the field Combinatorial Design and their Applications presents a wide but representative range of topics on the non-geometrical aspects of design theory. By concentrating on a few important areas the authors succeed in providing greater detail in these areas in a more complete and accessible form. Through their contributions to this collection they help fill a gap in the available combinatorics literature.<br>The papers included in this volume cover recent developments in areas of current interest such as difference sets cryptography and optimal linear codes. <br>Researchers in combinatorics and other areas of pure mathematics along with researchers in statistics and computer design will find in-depth up-to-date discussions of design theory and the application of the theory to statistical design codes and cryptography.</p>
