Using the Simplex Code to Construct Relative Difference Sets in 2-groups

Relative Difference Sets with the parameters (2a, 2b, 2a, 2a-b) have been constructed many ways (see davis, EB, jung, maschmidt, and pottsurvey for examples). This paper modifies an example found in arasusehgal to construct a family of relative difference sets in 2-groups that gives examples for b = 2 and b = 3 that have a lower rank than previous examples. The Simplex code is used in the construction.     

On Relative Difference Sets in Dihedral Groups

In this paper, we study extensions of trivial difference sets in dihedral groups. Such relative difference sets have parameters of the form (uλ,u,uλ, λ) or (uλ+2,u, uλ+1, λ) and are called semiregular or affine type, respectively. We show that there exists no nontrivial relative difference set of affine type in any dihedral group. We also show a connection between semiregular relative difference sets in dihedral groups and Menon–Hadamard difference sets. In the last section of the paper, we consider (m, u, k, λ) difference sets of general type in a dihedral group relative to a non-normal subgroup. In particular, we show that if a dihedral group contains such a difference set, then m is neither a prime power nor product of two distinct primes.

Indivisible plexes in latin squares

In this paper, we present two constructions of divisible difference sets based on skew Hadamard difference sets. A special class of Hadamard difference sets, which can be derived from a skew Hadamard difference set and a Paley type regular partial difference set respectively in two groups of orders v ₁ and v ₂ with |v ₁ − v ₂| = 2, is contained in these constructions. Some result on inequivalence of skew Hadamard difference sets is also given in the paper. As a consequence of Delsarte’s theorem, the dual set of skew Hadamard difference set is also a skew Hadamard difference set in an abelian group. We show that there are seven pairwisely inequivalent skew Hadamard difference sets in the elementary abelian group of order 3⁵ or 3⁷, and also at least four pairwisely inequivalent skew Hadamard difference sets in the elementary abelian group of order 3⁹. Furthermore, the skew Hadamard difference sets deduced by Ree-Tits slice symplectic spreads are the dual sets of each other when q ≤ 3¹¹.

On maximal cyclic subgroups in finite p-groups

In this note we consider finite noncyclic p-groups G all of whose maximal cyclic subgroups X satisfy one of the following two properties. (a) If each subgroup H of G containing X properly is nonabelian, then p = 2 and G is generalized quaternion. (b) If X is contained in exactly one maximal subgroup of G, then G is metacyclic. This solves the problems Nr.1541 and Nr. 1594 from [1].     

A New Method for Constructing Williamson Matrices

For every prime power q 1 (mod 4) we prove the existence of (q; x, y)-partitions of GF(q) with q=x²+4y² for some x, y, which are very useful for constructing SDS, DS and Hadamard matrices. We discuss the transformations of (q; x,y)-partitions and, by using the partitions, construct generalized cyclotomic classes which have properties similar to those of classical cyclotomic classes. Thus we provide a new construction for Williamson matrices of order q².The research supported by NSF of China (No. 10071029).

Constructions of Nested Partial Difference Sets with Galois Rings

There have been several recent constructions of partial difference sets (PDSs) using the Galois rings for p a prime and t any positive integer. This paper presents constructions of partial difference sets in where p is any prime, and r and t are any positive integers. For the case where 2$$ " align="middle" border="0"> many of the partial difference sets are constructed in groups with parameters distinct from other known constructions, and the PDSs are nested. Another construction of Paley partial difference sets is given for the case when p is odd. The constructions make use of character theory and of the structure of the Galois ring , and in particular, the ring × . The paper concludes with some open related problems.     

New Constructions of Disjoint Distinct Difference Sets

Constructions for Anonymous Secret Sharing Schemes Using Combinatorial Designs

In an anonymous secret sharing scheme the secret can be reconstructed without knowledge ofwhich participants hold which shares.In this paper some constructions of anonymous secret sharing schemeswith 2 thresholds by using combinatorial designs are given.Let v(t,w,q)denote the minimum size of the setof shares of a perfect anonymous(t,w)threshold secret sharing scheme with q secrets.In this paper we provethat v(t,w,q)=(q)if t and w are fixed and that the lower bound of the size of the set of shares in[4]is notoptimal under certain condition.
