✦ Synopsis

A (maximal) difference matrix with r rows over a group G of order s gives rise to a (maximal) set of r -1 mutually orthogonal Latin squares of order s. The row sizes of maximal difference matrices are determined for all groups G of order ~<10.

## Abstract Recently, A. B. Evans proved the following Theorem: There is a maximal set of (p − 3)/2 [(resp. (p − 1)/2] mutually orthogonal Latin squares of order __p__ if __p__ is a prime __p__ ≡ 3 mod 4 (resp. __p__ ≡ 1 mod 4). In this article I will give a slightly different proof using more geom

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
