Abstract
In this paper, it is shown that the necessary conditions for the existence of a (gv, {g, 3α}, 3, λ)-DF in Z gv for α ∈ {0, 1, 2} are also sufficient with two exceptions of (v, g, λ, α) = (9, 1, 1, 1), (9, 1, 2, 2). Finally, the existence spectrum of a cyclic (3, λ)-GDD of type g v is determined.
