摘要
We solve the existence problem for generalized Bhaskar Rao designs of block size 3 for an infinite family of non-abelian groups, the dihedral groups D-n, of order 2n. In our main result we show that for n greater than or equal to 1 and v greater than or equal to 3 the following set of conditions is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a GBRD(v, 3, lambda; D-n): 1. lambda equivalent to 0 (mod 2n); 2. lambdav(v-1) equivalent to 0 (mod 24).
