Packings of partial difference sets

J Jedwab, S Li - arXiv preprint arXiv:2012.00979, 2020 - arxiv.org
A packing of partial difference sets is a collection of disjoint partial difference sets in a finite
group $ G $. This configuration has received considerable attention in design theory, finite …

[HTML][HTML] Paley type group schemes and planar Dembowski–Ostrom polynomials

YQ Chen, J Polhill - Discrete mathematics, 2011 - Elsevier
In this paper we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for Dembowski–Ostrom
polynomials to be planar. These conditions give a simple explanation of the Coulter …

New negative Latin square type partial difference sets in nonelementary abelian 2-groups and 3-groups

J Polhill - Designs, Codes and Cryptography, 2008 - Springer
A partial difference set having parameters (n 2, r (n− 1), n+ r 2− 3 r, r 2− r) is called a Latin
square type partial difference set, while a partial difference set having parameters (n 2, r (n+ …

A new product construction for partial difference sets

J Polhill, JA Davis, K Smith - Designs, codes and cryptography, 2013 - Springer
Relatively few constructions are known of negative Latin square type Partial Difference Sets
(PDSs), and most of the known constructions are in elementary abelian groups. We present …

Nonabelian partial difference sets constructed using abelian techniques

J Davis, J Polhill, K Smith, E Swartz - arXiv preprint arXiv:2307.15648, 2023 - arxiv.org
A $(v, k,\lambda,\mu) $-partial difference set (PDS) is a subset $ D $ of a group $ G $ such
that $| G|= v $, $| D|= k $, and every nonidentity element $ x $ of $ G $ can be written in …

Negative Latin square type partial difference sets and amorphic association schemes with Galois rings

J Polhill - Journal of Combinatorial Designs, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
A partial difference set (PDS) having parameters (n2, r (n− 1), n+ r2− 3r, r2− r) is called a
Latin square type PDS, while a PDS having parameters (n2, r (n+ 1),− n+ r2+ 3r, r2+ r) is …

Partial difference sets and amorphic Cayley schemes in non‐abelian 2‐groups

T Feng, Z He, YQ Chen - Journal of Combinatorial Designs, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we consider regular automorphism groups of graphs in the RT2 family and the
Davis‐Xiang family and amorphic abelian Cayley schemes from these graphs. We derive …

Generalizations of Partial Difference Sets from Cyclotomy to Nonelementary Abelian -Groups

J Polhill - the electronic journal of combinatorics, 2008 - combinatorics.org
A partial difference set having parameters $(n^ 2, r (n-1), n+ r^ 2-3r, r^ 2-r) $ is called a Latin
square type partial difference set, while a partial difference set having parameters $(n^ 2, r …

Constructions of primitive formally dual pairs having subsets with unequal sizes

S Li, A Pott - Journal of Combinatorial Designs, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The concept of formal duality was proposed by Cohn, Kumar and Schürmann, which reflects
a remarkable symmetry among energy‐minimizing periodic configurations. This formal …

[PDF][PDF] A construction of layered relative difference sets using Galois rings

JB Polhill - Ars Combinatoria, 2006 - researchgate.net
Using a similar framework to [7], we construct a family of relative difference sets in P x (Zp2r)
2t, where P is the forbidden subgroup. We only require that P be an abelian group of order …
