Abstract

In [3], it was proved that necessary conditions are sufficient for existence of a 3-GDD for n=1, 7, 9 (mod 12). It was also proved that for n=3 (mod 12) necessary conditions are sufficient except when  lambda1=9 (mod 12). In this paper, we give the construction of a 3-GDD for n=3 (mod 12) and not equal 3. We prove that necessary conditions for the existence of a 3-GDD are sufficient for n=3 (mod 12) and n = 15, 27. We also prove that necessary conditions for the existence of a 3-GDD are sufficient for n=10 (mod 12).
