Abstract
Optimal p × q row–column designs are obtained via complete enumeration of all possible designs for two treatments in some fixed effects models with errors specified by a doubly geometric covariance structure. This is done, in part, by a computer search, for a finite set of sizes of the correlation coefficients and in cases where p and q are small enough to make such a search feasible.
