✦ Synopsis

Abstract

External difference families (EDFs) are a type of new combinatorial designs originated from cryptography. Some results had been obtained by Chang and Ding, the connection between EDFs and disjoint difference families (DDFs) was also established. In this paper, further cyclotomic constructions of EDFs and DDFs are presented, and several classes of EDFs and DDFs are obtained. Answers to problems 1 and 4 by Chang and Ding are also given. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 17: 333–341, 2009

We present a new recursive construction for difference matrices whose application allows us to improve some results by D. Jungnickel. For instance, we prove that for any Abelian p-group G of type (n1 , n2 , . . . , nt) there exists a (G, p e , 1) difference matrix with e = Σ i n i m ax i n i . Also,

## Abstract The existence of a (__q,k__, 1) difference family in __GF__(__q__) has been completely solved for __k__ = 3,4,5,6. For __k__ = 7 only partial results have been given. In this article, we continue the investigation and use Weil's theorem on character sums to show that the necessary condi
