Three new lengths for cyclic Legendre pairs

N. A. Balonin, D. Ž. Đoković

Abstract

There are 20 odd integers v less than 200 for which the existence of Legendre pairs of length v is undecided. The smallest among them is v=77. We have constructed Legendre pairs of lengths 91, 93 and 123 reducing the number of undecided cases to 17.

Key Result

Proposition 1

An ordered pair of functions $(f,g):G\to\{+1,-1\}$ is a Legendre pair on $G$ if and only if $(G_f,G_g)$ is a difference family in $G$ with parameters $(v;k_1,k_2;\lambda)$ where $k_1=|G_f|$, $k_2=|G_g|$ and $\lambda=k_1+k_2-(v+1)/2$. In particular the existence of Legendre pairs on $G$ implies that
