Generalized binary arrays from quasi-orthogonal cocycles

Abstract

Generalized perfect binary arrays (GPBAs) were used by Jedwab to construct perfect binary arrays. A non-trivial GPBA can exist only if its energy is 22 or a multiple of 44. This paper introduces generalized optimal binary arrays (GOBAs) with even energy not divisible by 44, as analogs of GPBAs. We give a procedure to construct GOBAs based on a characterization of the arrays in terms of 22-cocycles. As a further application, we determine negaperiodic Golay pairs arising from generalized optimal binary sequences of small length.
