Abstract

We establish some properties of mixed difference families. We obtain some criteria for the existence of such families and a special kind of multipliers. Several methods are presented for the construction of difference families by using cyclotomy and genetic algorithms. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 12: 256–270, 2004.

## 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 constru

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

The existence of a (q, k, 1) difference family in GF(q) has been completely solved for k = 3. For k = 4, 5 partial results have been given by Bose, Wilson, and Buratti.

## Abstract This article is devoted to an analysis of simple families of finite difference schemes for the wave equation. These families are dependent on several free parameters, and methods for obtaining stability bounds as a function of these parameters are discussed in detail. Access to explicit
