Abstract: | In this paper, for a prime power q, new cyclic difference sets with Singer para- meters ((q
n
–1/q–1), (q
n–1–1/q–1), (q
n–2–1/q–1)) are constructed by using q-ary sequences (d-homogeneous functions) of period q
n
–1 and the generalization of GMW difference sets is proposed by combining the generation methods of d-form sequences and extended sequences. When q is a power of 3, new cyclic difference sets with Singer parameters ((q
n
–1/q–1), (q
n–1–1/q–1), (q
n–2–1/q–1)) are constructed from the ternary sequences of period q
n
–1 with ideal autocorrelation introduced by Helleseth, Kumar, and Martinsen. |
