Abstract

We introduce almost supplementary difference sets (ASDS). For odd m, certain ASDS in ℤm that have amicable incidence matrices are equivalent to quaternary sequences of odd length m with optimal autocorrelation. As one consequence, if 2m − 1 is a prime power, or m ≡ 1 mod 4 is prime, then ASDS of this kind exist. We also explore connections to optimal binary sequences and group cohomology.
