Abstract


A difference BIBD is a balanced incomplete block design on a group which is
constructed by transferring a regular perfect difference system by a subgroup of its point set. There is an obvious bijection between these BIBDs and some copies of their point sets as two sets. In this paper, we investigate the algebraic structure of these block designs by definning a group-isomorphism between them and their point sets. It has done by defning some relations between the independent-graphs of difference BIBDs and some Cayley graphs of their point sets. It is shown that some Cayley graphs are embedded in the independent-graph of difference BIBDs as a spanning sub-graphs. Due to find these relations, we find out a configuration ordering on these BIBDs, also we achieve some results about the classification of these BIBDs. All in this paper are on difference BIBDs with even numbers of the points.


Keywords
