In the area of computer simulation, Latin hypercube designs play an important role. In this paper the classes of maximin and Audze-Eglais Latin hypercube designs are considered. Up to now only several two-dimensional designs and a few higher dimensional designs for these classes have been...

The problem of finding a maximin Latin hypercube design in two dimensions can be described as positioning n non-attacking rooks on an n x n chessboard such that the minimal distance between pairs of rooks is maximized.Maximin Latin hypercube designs are important for the approximation and...

This paper introduces methods to coordinate black box simulations in the construction of metamodels for situations in which we have to deal with coupled black boxes.We de.ne three coordination methods: parallel simulation, sequential simulation and sequential modeling.To compare these three...

The design of computer experiments is an important step in black box evaluation and optimization processes.When dealing with multiple black box functions the need often arises to construct designs for all black boxes jointly, instead of individually.These so-called nested designs are used to...

In this and a sequel paper [10] we study combinatorial designs whose incidence matrix has two distinct singular values.These generalize 2-(v, k, É) designs, and include partial geometric designs and uniform multiplicative designs.Here we study the latter, which are precisely the nonsingular...
