Abstract
In this article we provide a complete classification of regular partial difference sets in Abelian groups of order \(4p^2\), p an odd prime. It turns out that the known examples are the only examples. These are, up to complements, the trivial examples, the PCP examples, and a sporadic example in \(\mathbb {Z}_2^2\times \mathbb {Z}_3^2\).
