Summary
This paper investigates locally resistant balanced incomplete block (LRBIB) designs of degree one. A new necessary condition for the existence of such an LRBIB design is presented. This condition yields a complete characterization of affine α-resolvable LRBIB designs of degree one. Furthermore, regarding construction methods of LRBIB designs of degree one, it is shown that Shah and Gujarathi's method (1977,Sankhyã, B39, 406–408) yields the same parameters as Hedayat and John's method (1974,Ann. Statist.,2, 148–158), but their block structures are different and interesting.
