Abstract

Let G be a group of order mu and U a normal subgroup of G of order u. Let G/U = {U 1,U 2, . . . ,U m } be the set of cosets of U in G. We say a matrix H = [h ij ] of order k with entries from G is a quasi-generalized Hadamard matrix with respect to the cosets G/U if $${\sum_{1\le t \le k} h_{it}h_{jt}^{-1} = \lambda_{ij1}U_1+\cdots+\lambda_{ijm}U_m (\exists\lambda_{ij1},\ldots, \exists \lambda_{ijm} \in \mathbb{Z})}$$ for any i 驴 j. On the other hand, in our previous article we defined a modified generalized Hadamard matrix GH(s, u, 驴) over a group G, from which a TD 驴 (u驴, u) admitting G as a semiregular automorphism group is obtained. In this article, we present a method for combining quasi-generalized Hadamard matrices and semiregular relative difference sets to produce modified generalized Hadamard matrices.
