Abstract
- We construct orthogonal arrays OA$_{\lambda} (k,n)$ (of strength two) having a row that is repeated $m$ times, where $m$ is as large as possible. In particular, we consider OAs where the ratio $m / \lambda$ is as large as possible; these OAs are termed optimal. We provide constructions of optimal OAs for any $k \geq n+1$, albeit with large $\lambda$. We also study basic OAs; these are optimal OAs in which $\gcd(m,\lambda) = 1$. We construct a basic OA with $n=2$ and $k =4t+1$, provided that a Hadamard matrix of order $8t+4$ exists. This completely solves the problem of constructing basic OAs wth $n=2$, modulo the Hadamard matrix conjecture.
