The 3-GDDs of type $g^3u^2$
Keywords:
Group divisible designs, Partial triple systems, Graph decompositionAbstract
A 3-GDD of type ${g^3u^2}$ exists if and only if $g$ and $u$ have the same parity, $3$ divides $u$ and $u\leq 3g$.Such a 3-GDD of type ${g^3u^2}$ is equivalent to an edge decomposition of $K_{g,g,g,u,u}$ into triangles.
