β¦ Synopsis
We previously established that biquadratic qualified residue difference sets exist for primes p if and only if p = 16x 2 + 1 and sextic qualified residue difference sets exist if and only if p = 108x 2 Γ· 1. For example such sets exist for the primes 17 and 109, respectively. In this paper we point out that if zero is counted as a residue then we can obtain further qualified residue difference sets for both the biquadratic and the sextic residues. We give two theorems which state precisely when such biquadratic and sextic residue sets exist and a further existence theorem for more general powers.

We investigate the existence of relative (m, 2, k, 2)-difference sets in a group H x N relative to N. One can think of these as 'liftings' or 'extensions' of (m, k, 22)-difference sets. We have to distinguish between the difference sets and their complements.. In particular, we prove: --Difference
We investigate the existence of cyclic relative difference sets with parameters ((q d &1)Γ(q&1), n, q d&1 , q d&2 (q&1)Γn), q any prime power. One can think of these as ``liftings'' or ``extensions'' of the complements of Singer difference sets. When q is odd or d is even, we find that relative diff
