A Note On New Semi-Regular Divisible Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab Oct 1993

A Note On New Semi-Regular Divisible Difference Sets, James A. Davis, Jonathan Jedwab

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

We give a construction for new families of semi-regular divisible difference sets. The construction is a variation of McFarland's scheme [5] tor noncyclic difference sets.


Almost Difference Sets And Reversible Divisible Difference Sets, James A. Davis Dec 1992

Almost Difference Sets And Reversible Divisible Difference Sets, James A. Davis

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

Let G be a group of order mn and N a subgroup of G of order n. If D is a k-subset of G, then D is called a (m, n, k, λ1, λ2) divisible difference set (DDS) provided that the differences dd'-1 for d, d'D, d ≠ d' contain every nonidentity element of N exactly λ1 times and every element of G - N exactly λ2 times. Difference sets are used to generate designs, as described by [4] and [9]. D will be …


A Note On Nonabelian (64, 28, 12) Difference Sets, James A. Davis Jan 1991

A Note On Nonabelian (64, 28, 12) Difference Sets, James A. Davis

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

The existence of difference sets in abelian 2-groups is a recently settled problem [5]; this note extends the abelian constructs of difference sets to nonabelian groups of order 64.
