Abstract
A series of quasidouble resolvable balanced incomplete block design with parameters: \(v={q}^{2},b=2q\left(q+1\right), r=2\left(q+1\right),k=q,\lambda =2\) is obtained using difference matrices where \(q\) is a prime or prime power. Further a class of \(\left(\mathrm{0,1}\right)\)-matrix is introduced which is applicable in the construction of resolvable group divisible designs. These designs are of statistical as well as combinatorial interest.
