Orthogonal designs and weighing matrices have many applications in areas such as coding theory, cryptography, wireless networking, and communication.

Abstract

Orthogonal designs and weighing matrices have many applications in areas such as coding theory, cryptography, wireless networking, and communication. In this paper, we first show that if positive integer k cannot be written as the sum of three integer squares, then there does not exist any skew-symmetric weighing matrix of order 4n and weight k, where n is an odd positive integer. Then we show that, for any square k, there is an integer N(k) such that, for each n ≥ N(k), there is a symmetric weighing matrix of order n and weight k. Moreover, we improve some of the asymptotic existence results for weighing matrices obtained by Eades, Geramita, and Seberry.
