| Abstract: | Some results of Williamson [Duke Math. J., 11 1944, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., 53 1947] and Wallis (J. Combinatorial Theory, 6 1969] are considerably improved to establish that in each case referred to, the same stated condition or conditions, which according to either of the authors give rise to one Hadamard matrix, actually imply the existence of an infinite series of Hadamard matrices. Also proved is the existence of some infinite series of Williamson's matrices, which coupled with the interesting findings of Turyn [J. Combinatorial Theory Ser. A, 16 1974] establish the existence of infinitely many more series of Hadamard matrices than those known so far. |
