The D-optimal saturated designs of order 22

This paper attempts to prove the D-optimality of the saturated designs X${}^1$ and X${}^{11}$ of order 22, already existing in the current literature. The corresponding non-equivalent information matrices M${}^1$=(X${}^1$)${}^T$X${}^1$ and M${}^{11}$=(X${}^{11}$)${}^T$X${}^{11}$ have the maximum determinant. Within the application of a specific procedure, all symmetric and positive definite matrices M of order 22 with determinant the square of an integer and $\ge$det(M${}^1$) are constructed. This procedure has indicated that there are 26 such non-equivalent matrices M, for 24 of which the non-existence of designs X such that X${}^T$X =M is proved. The remaining two matrices M are the information matrices M${}^1$ and M${}^{11}$.
