In this and a sequel paper [10] we study combinatorial designs whose incidence matrix has two distinct singular values.These generalize 2-(v, k, É) designs, and include partial geometric designs and uniform multiplicative designs.Here we study the latter, which are precisely the nonsingular...

In this and an earlier paper [17] we study combinatorial designs whose incidence matrix has two distinct singular values.These generalize (v, k, ë) designs, and include uniform multiplicative designs and partial geometric designs.Here we study the latter, which are precisely the designs with...

We study a special case of a structured mixed integer programming model that arises in a number of applications. For the most general case of the model, called PI, we have earlier analyzed the polyhedral structure (Miller et al. [2000a]), including identifying facet-defining valid inequalities....
