Abstract

A Cretan(4t+1)Cretan(4t+1) matrix, of order 4t+14t+1, is an orthogonal matrix whose elements have moduli 1\leq 1. The only Cretan(4t+1)Cretan(4t+1) matrices previously published are for orders 5, 9, 13, 17 and 37. This paper gives infinitely many new Cretan(4t+1)Cretan(4t+1) matrices constructed using regular Hadamardregular~Hadamard matrices, SBIBD(4t+1,k,λ)SBIBD(4t+1,k,\lambda), weighing matrices, generalized Hadamard matrices and the Kronecker product. We introduce an inequality for the radius and give a construction for a Cretan matrix for every order n3n \geq 3.
