Internal and external partial difference families and cyclotomy
Abstract
We introduce the concept of a disjoint partial difference family (DPDF) and an external partial difference family (EPDF), a natural generalization of the much-studied disjoint difference family (DDF), external difference family (EDF) and partial difference set (PDS). We establish properties and indicate connections to other recently-studied combinatorial structures. We show how DPDFs and EPDFs may be formed from PDSs, and present various cyclotomic constructions for DPDFs and EPDFs. As part of this, we develop a unified cyclotomic framework, which yields some known results on PDSs, DDFs and EDFs as special cases.
