Existence conjecture for symmetric 0-ULSE coloured BIBDs

From papers

Let v,k,Z+v,k,\ell\in\mathbb{Z}^+ satisfy the necessary parameter equation referred to in the source as Equation~, and suppose that there exists a symmetric BIBD on vv points with block size kk. A 00-ULSE \ell-coloured BIBD is a balanced incomplete block design with the stated zero-uniform locally semi-equitable colouring property. Existence conjecture for symmetric 0-ULSE coloured BIBDs. There exists a 00-ULSE \ell-coloured symmetric BIBD on vv points with block size kk. The authors report no counterexample and motivate the claim by their search, while the conjecture remains open.
