Abstract
The concepts of circulant and backcirculant matrices are generalized to obtain incidence matrices of subsets of finite additive abelian groups. These results are then used to show the existence of skew-Hadamard matrices of order 8(4f+1) when f is odd and 8f + 1 is a prime power. This shows the existence of skew-Hadamard matrices of orders 296, 592, 1184, 1640, 2280, 2368 which were previously unknown.A construction is given for regular symmetric Hadamard matrices with constant diagonal of order 4(2m + 1)2 when a symmetric conference matrix of order 4m + 2 exists and there are Szekeres difference sets, X and Y, of size m satisfying x є X ⇒ −xє X, y є Y ⇒ −y єY.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
