The Existence of Symmetric Skew Balanced Starters for Odd Prime Powers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strong starters and skew starters have been widely used in various combinatorial designs. In particular skew balanced starters and symmetric skew balanced starters are crucially used in the construction of completely balanced Howell rotations. Let n = 2mfc + 1 be an odd prime power where m > 2 and k is an odd number. The existence of symmetric skew balanced starters for GF(n) has been proved for m > 2 and k ^ 1,3,9. In this paper, we present a new approach which gives a uniform proof of the existence of symmetric skew balanced starters for all m > 2 and k > 3.

The (R,S)-symmetric and (R,S)-skew symmetric solutions of the pair of matrix equations A1XB1 = C1 and A2XB2 = C2
Let $Rin textbf{C}^{mtimes m}$ and $Sin textbf{C}^{ntimes n}$ be nontrivial involution matrices; i.e., $R=R^{-1}neq pm~I$ and $S=S^{-1}neq pm~I$. An $mtimes n$ complex matrix $A$ is said to be an $(R, S)$-symmetric ($(R, S)$-skew symmetric) matrix if $RAS =A$ ($ RAS =-A$). The $(R, S)$-symmetric and $(R, S)$-skew symmetric matrices have a number of special properties and widely used in eng...
متن کاملA universal sequence of integers generating balanced Steinhaus figures modulo an odd number
In this paper, we partially solve an open problem, due to J. C. Molluzzo in 1976, on the existence of balanced Steinhaus triangles modulo a positive integer n, that are Steinhaus triangles containing all the elements of Z/nZ with the same multiplicity. For every odd number n, we build an orbit in Z/nZ, by the linear cellular automaton generating the Pascal triangle modulo n, which contains infi...
متن کاملOn Powers of Some Graph Operations
Let $G*H$ be the product $*$ of $G$ and $H$. In this paper we determine the rth power of the graph $G*H$ in terms of $G^r, H^r$ and $G^r*H^r$, when $*$ is the join, Cartesian, symmetric difference, disjunctive, composition, skew and corona product. Then we solve the equation $(G*H)^r=G^r*H^r$. We also compute the Wiener index and Wiener polarity index of the skew product.
متن کاملOn Some Properties and Estimation of a Skew Symmetric Density Function
In this paper we consider a general setting of skew-symmetric distribution which was constructed by Azzalini (1985), and its properties are presented. A suitable empirical estimator for a skew-symmetric distribution is proposed. In data analysis, by comparing this empirical model with the estimated skew-normal distribution, we show that the proposed empirical model has a better fit in den...
متن کاملRecognition by prime graph of the almost simple group PGL(2, 25)
Throughout this paper, every groups are finite. The prime graph of a group $G$ is denoted by $Gamma(G)$. Also $G$ is called recognizable by prime graph if for every finite group $H$ with $Gamma(H) = Gamma(G)$, we conclude that $Gcong H$. Until now, it is proved that if $k$ is an odd number and $p$ is an odd prime number, then $PGL(2,p^k)$ is recognizable by prime graph. So if $k$ is even, the r...
