A Unifying Construction For Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab Oct 1997

A Unifying Construction For Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

We present a recursive construction for difference sets which unifies the Hadamard, McFarland, and Spence parameter families and deals with all abelian groups known to contain such difference sets. The construction yields a new family of difference sets with parameters (v, k, λ,n)=(22d+4(22d+2−1)/3, 22d+1(22d+3+1)/3, 22d+1(22d+1+1)/3, 24d+2) for d⩾0. The construction establishes that a McFarland difference set exists in an abelian group of order 22 …


Nested Hadamard Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab Jul 1997

Nested Hadamard Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

A Hadamard difference set (HDS) has the parameters (4N2, 2N2N, N2N). In the abelian case it is equivalent to a perfect binary array, which is a multidimensional matrix with elements ±1 such that all out-of-phase periodic autocorrelation coefficients are zero. We show that if a group of the form H × Z2pr contains a (hp2r, √hpr(2√hpr − 1), √hpr(√hpr − 1)) HDS (HDS), p a prime not dividing |H| …


Using The Simplex Code To Construct Relative Difference Sets In 2-Groups, James A. Davis, Surinder K. Sehgal Jul 1997

Using The Simplex Code To Construct Relative Difference Sets In 2-Groups, James A. Davis, Surinder K. Sehgal

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

Relative Difference Sets with the parameters (2a, 2b, 2a, 2a-b) have been constructed many ways (see [2], [3], [5], [6], and [7] for examples). This paper modifies an example found in [1] 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.


Peak-To-Mean Power Control And Error Correction For Ofdm Transmission Using Golay Sequences And Reed-Muller Codes, James A. Davis, J Jedwab Feb 1997

Peak-To-Mean Power Control And Error Correction For Ofdm Transmission Using Golay Sequences And Reed-Muller Codes, James A. Davis, J Jedwab

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

A coding scheme for OFDM transmission is proposed, exploiting a previously unrecognised connection between pairs of Golay complementary sequences and second-order Reed-Muller codes. The scheme solves the notorious problem of power control in OFDM systems by maintaining a peak-to-mean envelope power ratio of at most 3dB while allowing simple encoding and decoding at high code rates for binary, quaternary or higher-phase signalling together with good error correction.
