    Symmetric Bush-type generalized Hadamard matrices and association schemes

    Get PDF
    We define Bush-type generalized Hadamard matrices over abelian groups and construct symmetric Bush-type generalized Hadamard matrices over the additive group of finite field Fq\mathbb{F}_q, qq a prime power. We then show and study an association scheme obtained from such generalized Hadamard matrices.Comment: 10 page

    Implementing Brouwer's database of strongly regular graphs

    Full text link
    Andries Brouwer maintains a public database of existence results for strongly regular graphs on n1300n\leq 1300 vertices. We implemented most of the infinite families of graphs listed there in the open-source software Sagemath, as well as provided constructions of the "sporadic" cases, to obtain a graph for each set of parameters with known examples. Besides providing a convenient way to verify these existence results from the actual graphs, it also extends the database to higher values of nn.Comment: 18 pages, LaTe

    Hadamard matrices related to the projective planes

    Full text link
    Let nn be the order of a (quaternary) Hadamard matrix. It is shown that the existence of a projective plane of order nn is equivalent to the existence of a balancedly multi-splittable (quaternary) Hadamard matrix of order n2n^2.Comment: 9 page
