Abstract

Let $s_{ju}$ be the number of varieties in common to the $j$th and $u$th blocks of a symmetric semiregular group divisible design. Connor (1952) and Saraf (1961) have given inequalities for $s_{ju}$. Both these inequalities lead to the same stronger inequality $\lambda_1 \leqq s_{ju} \leqq 2\lambda_2 - 1$. Both the upper and lower bounds are attained by a series of designs derived from lattices.
