Abstract

Recently, a number of new connections between complete mappings, sequencings of groups, and the construction of neofields and block designs have come to light. Also, some progress has been made in determining classes of groups which are sequenceable or R-sequenceable. We survey these results, point out their inter-connections and indicate some unsolved problems.
