Some remarks on generalised hadamard matrices and theorems of rajkundalia on sbibds

Contributed Papers

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 748)

Abstract

Constructions are given for generalised Hadamard matrices and weighing matrices with entries from abelian groups.

These are then used to construct families of SBIBDs giving alternate proofs to those of Rajkundlia.
