โฆ Synopsis
We show that if there is a skew-Hadamard matrix of order m then there is an Hadamard matrix of order 4m2 -4m whose excess attains the maximum possible bound predicted by S. Kounias and N. Farmakis, On the excess of Hadamard matrices, Discrete Mathematics 68 (1988) 59-69. That is a(4m* -4m) = 4(m -1)*(2m + 1).
In particular if ~"'3 (mod4) is a prime power, a class of Hadamard matrices of order 4~'~ + 4p" with maximum excess a(4p*" + 4p ") = 4p*"(2p (I + 3) is constructed.

Hadamard matrices of order n with maximum excess o(n) are constructed for n = 40, 44, 48, 52, 80, 84. The results are: o(40)= 244, o(44)= 280, o(48)= 324, o(52)= 364, o(80)= 704, 0(84) = 756. A table is presented listing the known values of o(n) 0< n ~< 100 and the corresponding Hadamard matrices ar
