Complete enumeration of two-Level orthogonal arrays of strength with constraints

Enumerating nonisomorphic orthogonal arrays is an important, yet very difficult, problem. Although orthogonal arrays with a specified set of parameters have been enumerated in a number of cases, general results are extremely rare. In this paper, we provide a complete solution to enumerating nonisomorphic two-level orthogonal arrays of strength with constraints for any and any run size . Our results not only give the number of nonisomorphic orthogonal arrays for given and , but also provide a systematic way of explicitly constructing these arrays. Our approach to the problem is to make use of the recently developed theory of -characteristics for fractional factorial designs. Besides the general theoretical results, the paper presents some results from applications of the theory to orthogonal arrays of strength two, three and four.
