We show that an $n\times n$ circulant Hadamard matrix must satisfy a family of congruence equations that have solutions only when $n \leq 4$, proving Ryser's 1963 conjecture that no such matrices exist for $n>4$.

It is shown that if $H$ is a circulant Hadamard $4n\ti 4n $ then $n=1$. This proves the Hadamard circulant conjecture.

We prove that there is no circulant Hadamard matrix $H$ with first row $[h_{1},\ldots,h_{n}]$ of order $n>4$, under a condition about a sum of scalar products of rows of two other circulant matrices of size $n/2$ associated to $H.$

A Hadamard matrix is a scaled orthogonal matrix with $\pm 1$ entries. Such matrices exist in certain dimensions: the Hadamard conjecture is that such a matrix always exists when $n$ is a multiple of 4. A conjecture attributed to Ryser is…

For every positive integer $k$ such that $k>1,$ there are an infinity of odd integers $h$ with $\omega(h) =k$ distinct prime divisors such that there do not exist a Circulant Hadamard matrix $H$ of order $n=4h^2.$ Moreover, our main result…

Turyn prove that if a circulant Hadamard matrix of order $n$ exists then $n$ must be of the form $n=4m^{2}$ for some odd integer $m$. In this paper we use the structure constant of Schur ring of $\Z_{2}^{4m^{2}}$ to prove that there is no…

We show that 138 odd values of n less than 10000 for which one knows how to construct a Hadamard matrix of order 4n have been overlooked in the recent handbook of combinatorial designs. There are four additional odd n, namely 191, 5767,…

We describe an approach to the circulant Hadamard conjecture based on Walsh-Fourier analysis. We show that the existence of a circulant Hadamard matrix of order $n$ is equivalent to the existence of a non-trivial solution of a certain…

In this article, we consider a special class of Williamson type matrices which we call them near Williamson matrices. They are in fact four $n\times n$ $(-1, 1)$-matrices $A, B, C, D$ so that $A$ is circulant, $B,C,D$ are symmetric…

We study the existence and construction of circulant matrices $C$ of order $n\geq2$ with diagonal entries $d\geq0$, off-diagonal entries $\pm1$ and mutually orthogonal rows. These matrices generalize circulant conference ($d=0$) and…

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…

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…

The optimal branch number of MDS matrices has established their importance in designing diffusion layers for various block ciphers and hash functions. As a result, numerous matrix structures, including Hadamard and circulant matrices, have…

In this paper we introduce modular symmetric designs and use them to study the existence of Hadamard matrices modulo 5. We prove that there exist 5-modular Hadamard matrices of order n if and only if n != 3, 7 (mod 10) or n != 6, 11. In…

The collection of cyclic Hadamard matrices {H = (a_{i - j}) : 0 <= i, j < n, and a_i = -1, 1} of order n is characterized by the orthogonality relation HH^T = nI. Only two of such matrices are currently known. It will be shown that this…

Let $n$ be the order of a (quaternary) Hadamard matrix. It is shown that the existence of a projective plane of order $n$ is equivalent to the existence of a balancedly multi-splittable (quaternary) Hadamard matrix of order $n^2$.

An Hadamard matrix is a square matrix $H\in M_N(\pm1)$ whose rows and pairwise orthogonal. More generally, we can talk about the complex Hadamard matrices, which are the square matrices $H\in M_N(\mathbb C)$ whose entries are on the unit…

We develop a general theory of "almost Hadamard matrices". These are by definition the matrices $H\in M_N(\mathbb R)$ having the property that $U=H/\sqrt{N}$ is orthogonal, and is a local maximum of the 1-norm on O(N). Our study includes a…

We update the list of odd integers n<10000 for which an Hadamard matrix of order 4n is known to exist. We also exhibit the first example of base sequences BS(40,39). Consequently, there exist T-sequences TS(n) of length n=79. The first…

In this paper a variety of issues are discussed, Schur ring, $S$-sets, circulant orbits, decimation operator and Hadamard matrices and their relation between them is shown. Firstly we define the complete $S$-sets. Next, we study the…
