We construct Hadamard matrices of orders 4x251 = 1004 and 4x631 = 2524, and skew-Hadamard matrices of orders 4x213 = 852 and 4x631 = 2524. As far as we know, such matrices have not been constructed previously. The constructions use the…
Hadamard matrices are $(-1, +1)$ square matrices with mutually orthogonal rows. The Hadamard conjecture states that Hadamard matrices of order $n$ exist whenever $n$ is $1$, $2$, or a multiple of $4$. However, no construction is known that…
Using the ideas of concatenation construction of codes over the $q$-ary alphabet, we modify the known generalized Sylvester-type construction of the Hadamard matrices. The new construction is based on two collections of the Hadamard…
Hadamard matrices of order $n$ are conjectured to exist whenever $n$ is $1$, $2$, or a multiple of $4$; a similar conjecture exists for skew Hadamard matrices. We provide constructions covering orders $\le 1208$ of all known Hadamard and…
A $Cretan(4t+1)$ matrix, of order $4t+1$, is an orthogonal matrix whose elements have moduli $\leq 1$. The only $Cretan(4t+1)$ matrices previously published are for orders 5, 9, 13, 17 and 37. This paper gives infinitely many new…
Hadamard matrices are square $n\times n$ matrices whose entries are ones and minus ones and whose rows are orthogonal to each other with respect to the standard scalar product in $\Bbb R^n$. Each Hadamard matrix can be transformed to a…
Unit derived schemes applied to Hadamard matrices are used to construct and analyse linear block and convolutional codes. Codes are constructed to prescribed types, lengths and rates and multiple series of self-dual, dual-containing, linear…
We introduce Hadamard matrices whose entries are quaternionic. We then go on to provide classification of quaternionic Hadamard matrices of circulant core of orders 2 through 5. We also introduce quaternionic Hadamard matrices of Butson…
Cretan matrices are orthogonal matrices with elements $\leq 1$. These may have application in forming some new materials. There is a search for Cretan matrices, especially with high determinant, for all orders. These have been found by both…
The smallest integer v>0 for which no skew-Hadamard matrix of order 4v is known is v=69. We show how to construct several such matrices. We also construct presumably the first example of a skew-Hadamard matrix of order 292, and the first…
We construct two difference families on each of the cyclic groups of order 109, 145 and 247, and use them to construct skew-Hadamard matrices of orders 436, 580 and 988. Such difference families and matrices are constructed here for the…
Constructions of Hadamard matrices from smaller blocks is a well-known technique in the theory of real Hadamard matrices: tensoring Hadamard matrices and the classical arrays of Williamson, Ito are all procedures involving smaller order…
In this paper we provide a general method to construct four-parameter families of complex Hadamard matrices of order six. Our approach is to write a 6-dimensional matrix as composed of four blocks, each one in the form of a circulant…
Quaternary unit Hadamard (QUH) matrices were introduced by Fender, Kharagani and Suda along with a method to construct them at prime power orders. We present a novel construction of real Hadamard matrices from QUH matrices. Our construction…
We revisit the old idea of constructing difference sets from cyclotomic classes. Two constructions of skew Hadamard difference sets are given in the additive groups of finite fields using unions of cyclotomic classes of order $N=2p_1^m$,…
We have extended the Paley constructions for Hadamard matrices and obtained some series of Hadamard matrices. Especially Paley construction-II is applicable for odd prime power q is congruent to 1(mod 4) however our method is applicable for…
We construct several difference families on cyclic groups of orders 47 and 97, and use them to construct skew-Hadamard matrices of orders 188 and 388. Such difference families and matrices are constructed here for the first time. The…
We construct many symmetric Hadamard matrices of small order by using the so called propus construction. The necessary difference families are constructed by restricting the search to the families which admit a nontrivial multiplier. Our…
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…
We introduce a class of regular unit Hadamard matrices whose entries consist of two complex numbers and their conjugates for a total of four complex numbers. We then show that these matrices are contained in the Bose-Mesner algebra of an…
