The paper deals with three wide classes of optimality criteria of experimental designs: Universal Optimality, involving the classical definition of convexity of a function, Ge¬neral Optimality, involving a combination of differentiable functions and B-Universal Optimality, where the Schur convexity is used. Two theorems on relationships be¬tween pairs of these classes are proved and some corollaries drawn. The applicability of the considered criteria to designs under fixed and also mixed linear models makes the results general.
