We obtain explicit formulae for the values of the v j minors, j = 0, 1,2 of (1, -1) incidence matrices of SBIBD(v, k, λ). This allows us to obtain explicit information on the growth problem for families of matrices with moderate growth. An open problem remains to establish whether the (1, -1) CP incidence matrices of SBIBD(v, k, λ), can have growth greater than v for families other than Hadamard families.

We give an algorithm to obtain formulae and values for minors of Hadamard matrices. One step in our algorithm allows the (n – j) x (n – j) minors of an Hadamard matrix to be given in terms of the minors of a 2j-1 x 2j-1 matrix. In particular we illustrate our algorithm by finding explicitly all the (n – 4) x (n – 4) minors of an Hadamard matrix.

We obtain explicit formulae for the values of the 2v — j minors, j = 0, 1, 2 of D-optimal designs of order 2v = x2 + y2, v odd, where the design is constructed using two circulant or type 1 incidence matrices of either two SBIBD(2s2 + 2s + 1, s2, s2-s/2) or 2 — {2s2 + 2s + 1; s2, s2; s(s–1)} sds. This allows us to obtain information on the growth problem for families of matrices with moderate growth. Some of our theoretical formulae imply growth greater than 2(2s2 + 2s + 1) but experimentation has not …
