Supplementary difference sets with symmetry for Hadamard matrices
First we give an overview of the known supplementary difference sets (SDS)
(A_i), i=1..4, with parameters (n;k_i;d), where k_i=|A_i| and each A_i is
either symmetric or skew and k_1 + ... + k_4 = n + d. Five new Williamson
matrices over the elementary abelian groups of order 25, 27 and 49 are
constructed. New examples of skew Hadamard matrices of order 4n for n=47,61,127
are presented. The last of these is obtained from a (127,57,76)-difference
family that we have constructed. An old non-published example of G-matrices of
order 37 is also included.Comment: 16 pages, 2 tables. A few minor changes are made. The paper will
appear in Operators and Matrice
