Abstract
We give an algorithm for enumerating the regular nontrivial partial difference sets (PDS) in the group . We use our algorithm to obtain all of these PDS in for , and we obtain partial results for and . Most of these PDS are new. For we also identify group-inequivalent PDS. Our approach involves constructing tree diagrams and canonical colorings of these diagrams. Both the total number and the number of group-inequivalent PDS in appear to grow super-exponentially in . For , a typical canonical coloring represents in excess of group-inequivalent PDS, and there are precisely reversible Hadamard difference sets.
