On strong Skolem starters

Combinatorics 2020-11-17 v4

Abstract

In this note we present an alternative (simple) construction of cardioidal starters (strong and Skolem) for Zqn\mathbb{Z}_{q^n}, where q3q\equiv3 (mod 8) is an odd prime number and n1n\geq1 is an integer number; also for Zpq\mathbb{Z}_{pq} and Zpn\mathbb{Z}_{p^n}, for infinitely many odd primes p,q1p,q\equiv1 (mod 8) and n1n\geq1 an integer number. This cardioidal starters can be obtained by a more general result given by Ogandzhanyants et al. [O. Ogandzhanyants, M. Kondratieva and N. Shalaby, \emph{Strong Skolem starters}, J. Combin. Des. {\bf 27} (2018), no. 1, 5--21].
