Popis: Two n × n ( 0 , 1 ) matrices X , Y are called thin Lehman matrices if they are solutions of the matrix equation XY T = J n + I n , where J n is the n × n matrix of all 1 s and I n is the identity matrix. These matrices are important in the set covering problem, but few examples are known. In this paper, we will introduce the notion of 1 -overlapped factorizations of finite groups which constructs a new class of thin Lehman matrices. Moreover, we will study some structural properties of 1 -overlapped factorizations.
