Abstract
We construct supplementary difference sets (SDSs) with parameters (59; 28, 22; 21), (69; 31, 27; 24), (75; 36, 29; 28), (77; 34, 31; 27) and (87; 38, 36; 31). These SDSs give D-optimal designs (DO-designs) of two-circulant type of orders 118,138,150,154 and 174. Until now, no DO-designs of orders 138,154 and 174 were known. While a DO-design (not of two-circulant type) of order 150 was constructed previously by Holzmann and Kharaghani, no such design of two-circulant type was known. The smallest undecided order for DO-designs is now 198. We use a novel property of the compression map to speed up some computations.

Appendix: D-Optimal SDSs with v < 100
Appendix: D-Optimal SDSs with v < 100
We list here all D-optimal parameter sets \((v;r,s;\lambda )\) with v∕2 ≥ r ≥ s and v < 100 and for each of them (with two exceptions) we give one DO-design of 2c type by recording the two base blocks of the corresponding SDS. In the two exceptional cases we indicate by a question mark that such designs are not yet known. In particular, this means that DO-designs of order 2v < 200, with v odd, exist for all feasible orders (those for which 2v − 1 is a sum of two squares) except for v = 99. This list will be useful to interested readers as examples of such designs are spread out over many papers in the literature. For the benefit of the readers interested in binary sequences we mention that these SDSs give two binary sequences of length v with PAF +2, i.e., D-optimal matrices.
