Abstract

In this paper, we obtain a new set of conditions which are necessary for the existence of balanced arrays of strength eight with two levels by making use of the positive semi-definiteness of the matrix of moments. We also demonstrate, using illustrative examples, that the maximum number of constraints derived using these results are better than those obtained earlier.
