One of the main goals of design theory is to classify, characterize and count various combinatorial objects with some prescribed properties. In most cases, however, one quickly encounters a combinatorial explosion and even if the complete…
Golay complementary sequences have been put a high value on the applications in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems since its good peak-to-mean envelope power ratio(PMEPR) properties. However, with the increase of the…
All complex Hadamard matrices in dimensions two to five are known. We use this fact to derive all inequivalent sets of mutually unbiased (MU) bases in low dimensions. We find a three-parameter family of triples of MU bases in dimension four…
Let $A$ be a set of finite integers, define $$A+A \ = \ \{a_1+a_2: a_1,a_2 \in A\}, \ \ \ A-A \ = \ \{a_1-a_2: a_1,a_2 \in A\},$$ and for non-negative integers $s$ and $d$ define $$sA-dA\ =\ \underbrace{A+\cdots+A}_{s}…
In this paper we introduce a switching for 2-designs. We illustrate this method by applying it to some symmetric (64,28,12) designs. In that way we obtain six new symmetric (64,28,12) designs. Further, we show that this type of switching…
The applications of additive codes mainly lie in quantum error correction and quantum computing. Due to their applications in quantum codes, additive codes have grown in importance. In addition to this, additive codes allow the…
This paper is devoted to studying difference indices of quasi-regular difference algebraic systems. We give the definition of difference indices through a family of pseudo-Jacobian matrices. Some properties of difference indices are proved.…
Frame difference families, which can be obtained via a careful use of cyclotomic conditions attached to strong difference families, play an important role in direct constructions for resolvable balanced incomplete block designs. We…
We explore new symmetries in two-component third-order Burgers' type systems in (1+1)-dimension using Wang's O-scheme. We also find a master symmetry for a (2+1)-dimensional Davey-Stewartson type system. These results shed light on the…
Base sequences BS(m,n) are quadruples (A;B;C;D) of {+1,-1}-sequences, A and B of length m and C and D of length n, the sum of whose non-periodic auto-correlation functions is zero. Base sequences and some special subclasses of BS(n+1,n)…
Base sequences BS(n+1,n) are quadruples of {1,-1}-sequences (A;B;C;D), with A and B of length n+1 and C and D of length n, such that the sum of their nonperiodic autocorrelation functions is a delta-function. The base sequence conjecture,…
Two submatrices $A,D$ of a Hadamard matrix $H$ are called complementary if, up to a permutation of rows and columns, $H=[^A_C{\ }^B_D]$. We find here an explicit formula for the polar decomposition of $D$. As an application, we show that…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce new parametric families of complex Hadamard matrices in two different ways. First, we prove that every real Hadamard matrix of order N>=4 admits an affine orbit. This settles a recent open problem…
A difference matrix over a group is a discrete structure that is intimately related to many other combinatorial designs, including mutually orthogonal Latin squares, orthogonal arrays, and transversal designs. Interest in constructing…
In this paper, we find regular or biregular Hadamard matrices with maximum excess by negating some rows and columns of known Hadamard matrices obtained from quadratic residues of finite fields. In particular, we show that if either…

It is conjectured that Hadamard matrices exist for all orders $4t$ ($t>0$). However, despite a sustained effort over more than five decades, the strongest overall existence results are asymptotic results of the form: for all odd natural…
Alternating sign matrices (ASMs) are square matrices with entries 0, 1, or -1 whose rows and columns sum to 1 and whose nonzero entries alternate in sign. We put ASMs into a larger context by studying the order ideals of subposets of a…
Limiting Spectral Distributions (LSD) of real symmetric patterned matrices have been well-studied. In this article, we consider skew-symmetric/anti-symmetric patterned random matrices and establish the LSDs of several common matrices. For…
