Orthogonal Designs Of Kharaghani Type: Ii, C. Koukouvinos, Jennifer Seberry May 2008

Orthogonal Designs Of Kharaghani Type: Ii, C. Koukouvinos, Jennifer Seberry

Professor Jennifer Seberry

H. Kharaghani, in "Arrays for orthogonal designs", J. Combin. Designs, 8 (2000), 166-173, showed how to use amicable sets of matrices to construct orthogonal designs in orders divisible by eight. We show how amicable orthogonal designs can be used to make amicable sets and so obtain infinite families of orthogonal designs in six variables in orders divisible by eight.


On Amicable Sequences And Orthogonal Designs, S. Georgiou, C. Koukouvinos, Jennifer Seberry May 2008

On Amicable Sequences And Orthogonal Designs, S. Georgiou, C. Koukouvinos, Jennifer Seberry

Professor Jennifer Seberry

In this paper we give a general theorem which can be used to multiply the length of amicable sequences keeping the amicability property and the type of the sequences. As a consequence we have that if there exist two, four or eight amicable sequences of length m and type (al, a2), (al, a2, a3, a4) or (al, a2, ... , a8) then there exist amicable sequences of length ℓ ≡ 0 (mod m) and of the same type. We also present a theorem that produces a set of 2v amicable sequences from a set of v (not necessary amicable) sequences …


On Full Orthogonal Designs In Order 56, S. Georgiou, C. Koukouvinos, Jennifer Seberry May 2008

On Full Orthogonal Designs In Order 56, S. Georgiou, C. Koukouvinos, Jennifer Seberry

Professor Jennifer Seberry

We find new full orthogonal designs in order 56 and show that of 1285 possible OD(56; s1, s2, s3, 56—s1—s2-s3) 163 are known, of 261 possible OD(56; s1, s2, 56—s1—s2) 179 are known. All possible OD(56; s1, 56 — s1) are known.


On Circulant Best Matrices And Their Applications, S. Georgiou, C. Koukouvinos, Jennifer Seberry May 2008

On Circulant Best Matrices And Their Applications, S. Georgiou, C. Koukouvinos, Jennifer Seberry

Professor Jennifer Seberry

Call four type 1(1,-1) matrices, x1,x2,x3,x4; of the same group of order m (odd) with the properties (i) (Xi-I)T = -(Xi-I), i=1,2,3, (ii)XT4 = X4 and the diagonal elements are positive, (iii) XiXj = XjXi and (iv) X1XT1 + X2XT2+X3XT3 +X4XT4 = 4mIm, best matrices. We use a computer to give, for the first time, all inequivalent best matrices of odd order m ≤31. Inequivalent best matrices of order m, m odd, can be used to find inequivalent skew-Hadamard matrices of order 4m. We use best matrices of order 1/4(s2+3) to construct new orthogonal designs, including new OD(2s2+6;1,1,2,2,s2,s2).


Orthogonal Designs From Negacyclic Matrices, K. Finlayson, Jennifer Seberry May 2008

Orthogonal Designs From Negacyclic Matrices, K. Finlayson, Jennifer Seberry

Professor Jennifer Seberry

We study the use of negacyclic matrices to form orthogonal designs and hence Hadamard matrices. We give results for all possible tuple for order 12, all but 3 for order 20 and all but 3 for order 28.

Orthogonal Designs Of Kharaghani Type: I, C. Koukouvinos, Jennifer Seberry

Professor Jennifer Seberry

We use an array given in H. Kharaghani, Arrays for orthogonal designs, J. Combin. Designs, 8 (2000), 166-173, to obtain infinite families of 8-variable Kharaghani type orthogonal designs, OD(8t; hi, kl, kl, kl, k2, k2, k2, k2), where k1 and k2 must be the sum of two squares. In particular we obtain infinite families of 8-variable Kharaghani type orthogonal designs, OD(8t; k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k). For odd t orthogonal designs of order ≡ 8( mod 16) can have at most eight variables.
