For any odd prime power q we provide a quick construction of a complete family of q(q-1) mutually orthogonal sudoku squares of order q^2.
In \cite{Castoldi}, $q^t \by (q+1)t$ ordered orthogonal arrays (OOAs) of strength $t$ over the alphabet $\FF_q$ were constructed using linear feedback shift register sequences (LFSRs) defined by {\em primitive} polynomials in $\FF_q[x]$. In…
We present a new construction of ordered orthogonal arrays (OOA) of strength $t$ with $(q + 1)t$ columns over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ using linear feedback shift register sequences (LFSRs). OOAs are naturally related to $(t, m,…
We construct orthogonal arrays OA$_{\lambda} (k,n)$ (of strength two) having a row that is repeated $m$ times, where $m$ is as large as possible. In particular, we consider OAs where the ratio $m / \lambda$ is as large as possible; these…

We propose a novel method for the construction of orthogonal arrays. The algorithm makes use of the Kronecker Product operator in association with unit column vectors to generate new orthogonal arrays from existing orthogonal arrays. The…
An orthogonal array OA(q^{2n-1},q^{2n-2}, q,2) is constructed from the action of a subset of PGL(n+1,q^2) on some non--degenerate Hermitian varieties in PG(n,q^2). It is also shown that the rows of this orthogonal array correspond to some…
Special orthogonal matrices with rational elements form the group SO(n,Q), where Q is the field of rational numbers. A theorem describing the structure of an arbitrary matrix from this group is proved. This theorem yields an algorithm for…
The quantum orthogonal arrays define remarkable classes of multipartite entangled states called $k$-uniform states whose every reductions to $k$ parties are maximally mixed. We present constructions of quantum orthogonal arrays of strength…

Large set of orthogonal arrays (LOA) were introduced by D. R. Stinson, and it is also used to construct multimagic squares recently. In this paper, multimagic squares based on strong double LOA are further investigated. It is proved that…
Augmented orthogonal arrays (AOAs) were introduced by Stinson, who showed the equivalence between ideal ramp schemes and augmented orthogonal arrays (Discrete Math. 341 (2018), 299-307). In this paper, we show that there is an…
Orthogonal arrays play a fundamental role in many applications. However, constructing orthogonal arrays with the required parameters for an application usually is extremely difficult and, sometimes, even impossible. Hence there is an…
The double-direction orthogonalization algorithm is applied to construct sequences of polynomials, which are orthogonal over the interval [0,1]with the weighting function 1. Functional and recurrent relations are derived for the sequences…
We generate all the Orthogonal Arrays (OAs) of a given size n and strength t as the union of a collection of OAs which belong to an inclusion-minimal set of OAs. We derive a formula for computing the (Generalized) Word Length Pattern of a…
In this paper, we construct three binary linear codes $C(SO^{-}(2,q))$, $C(O^{-}(2,q))$, $C(SO^{-}(4,q))$, respectively associated with the orthogonal groups $SO^{-}(2,q)$, $O^{-}(2,q)$, $SO^{-}(4,q)$, with $q$ powers of two. Then we obtain…
Self-orthogonal codes are a significant class of linear codes in coding theory and have attracted a lot of attention. In \cite{HLL2023Te,LH2023Se}, $p$-ary self-orthogonal codes were constructed by using $p$-ary weakly regular bent…
An orthogonal array (OA), denoted by $\text{OA}(M, n, q, t)$, is an $M \times n$ matrix over an alphabet of size $q$ such that every selection of $t$ columns contains each possible $t$-tuple exactly $\lambda=M / q^t$ times. An irredundant…
A pair of orthogonal latin cubes of order $q$ is equivalent to an MDS code with distance $3$ or to an ${\rm OA}_1(3,5,q)$ orthogonal array. We construct pairs of orthogonal latin cubes for a sequence of previously unknown orders…
Let $(p_n)_n$ be either the $q$-Meixner or the $q$-Laguerre polynomials. We form a new sequence of polynomials $(q_n)_n$ by considering a linear combination of two consecutive $p_n$: $q_n=p_n+\beta_np_{n-1}$, $\beta_n\in \RR$. Using the…
