摘要
In this article, we introduce a combinatorial structure called a partitionable set. We use these sets to construct cyclic balanced sampling plans excluding contiguous units. Two recursive constructions for CBSEC(upsilon,4, 1)'s are established by utilizing partitionable sets and difference matrices. As consequent we get the existence of a CBSEC(au, 4 ,1) where u is a product of numbers in Q = {p : p equivalent to 1 (mod 4) and p is prime} boolean OR {q : q equivalent to 1, 5(mod 12), q <= 160} and a is an element of {3, 27, 63, 99, 171, 207, 243}.
