Ordering Block Designs: Gray Codes, Universal Cycles and Configuration Orderings

by Megan Dewar and Brett Stevens

Book Overview

The study of combinatorial block designs is a vibrant area of combinatorial mathematics with connections to finite geometries, graph theory, coding theory and statistics. The practice of ordering combinatorial objects can trace its roots to bell ringing which originated in 17th century England, but only emerged as a significant modern research area with the work of F. Gray and N. de Bruijn.

These two fascinating areas of mathematics are...
