A Note on Intersection Numbers of Difference Sets
We present a condition on the intersection numbers of difference sets which follows from a result of Jungnickel and Pott [3]. We apply this condition to rule out several putative (non-abelian) difference sets and to correct erroneous proofs of Lander [4] for the nonexistence of (352, 27, 2)- and (122, 37, 12)-difference sets

A note on products of Relative Difference Sets
Relative Difference Sets with the parameters k = nλ have been constructed many ways (see (Davis, forthcoming; Elliot and Butson 1966; and Jungnickel 1982)). This paper proves a result on building new RDS by taking products of others (much like (Dillon 1985)), and this is applied to several new examples (primarily involving (pi, pj, pi, pi-j))
A Note on New Semi-Regular Divisible Difference Sets
We give a construction for new families of semi-regular divisible difference sets. The construction is a variation of McFarland\u27s scheme [5] tor noncyclic difference sets
A Note on Nonabelian (64, 28, 12) Difference Sets
The existence of difference sets in abelian 2-groups is a recently settled problem [5]; this note extends the abelian constructs of difference sets to nonabelian groups of order 64
On examples of difference operators for -valued functions over finite sets
Recently V.I.Arnold have formulated a geometrical concept of monads and apply
it to the study of difference operators on the sets of -valued
sequences of length . In the present note we show particular examples of
these monads and indicate one question arising here
Two applications of relative difference sets: Difference triangles and negaperiodic autocorrelation functions
AbstractThe well-known difference sets have various connections with sequences and their correlation properties. It is the purpose of this note to give two more applications of the (not so well known) relative difference sets: we use them to construct difference triangles (based on an idea of A. Ling) and we show that a certain nonexistence result for semiregular relative difference sets implies the nonexistence of negaperiodic autocorrelation sequences (answering a question of Parker [Even length binary sequence families with low negaperiodic autocorrelation, in: Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms and Error-correcting Codes, Melbourne, 2001, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 2227, Springer, Berlin, 2001, pp. 200–209.])
