La Jolla Cyclic Difference Set Repository

A (v,k,lambda) cyclic difference set is a subset D = {d_1, d_2, ..., d_k} of the integers modulo v such that {1,2,...,v-1} can each be represented as a difference (d_i - d_j) modulo v in exactly lambda different ways.

This page gives information about possible parameters for cyclic difference sets.

Here is a list of known difference sets in postscript and in pdf.



The LJDSR tables list parameters with k<=300 which satisfy simple necessary conditions, with status (known difference sets, proof of nonexistence, or open).



Here are some papers on difference sets and the Prime Power Conjecture.






If you know of any difference sets not listed here, or proofs that any open cases don't exist, please send email to Dan Gordon at gordon@ccrwest.org.
