Abstract

This work brings together several types of combinatorial designs: difference matrices, difference covering arrays and difference schemes by defining the concept of covering scheme of strength t over an abelian additive group. Connections of covering schemes with orthogonal arrays and covering arrays are also established. We show general results of covering schemes of strength t using a method based on the factorization of a group and some refinements for particular classes. We apply the previous results to investigate covering schemes having three, four and five factors. Finally, a reformulation of covering schemes in terms of graph theory is established.
