Given $a,b in mathbbN$, and $r,c in mathbbN$. I want to
construct all matrices $A in 0,1^a times b$ such that each row of $A$
contains exactly $r$ ones and each column of $A$ contains exactly $c$ ones. Generally $a neq b$ and $r neq c$.




If it makes constructing these matrices $A$ any simpler, one can also assume that each row and column in $Acdot A^T$ appears the same number of times.



My first thought was that one can set the first row and column of $A$ without loss of generality and then compute all possible permutations of the first row and column and combine them together. Most of the time this does not yield a matrix with the desired properties because one does not use the information about the rows and column simultaneously.



Does anyone have any ideas? One can further assume that $a+b leq 30$ holds.
