Abstract

Based on the concept of positive definite functions on finite groups, we present a new necessary condition for the existence of Butson Hadamard matrices BH(n,q). We use this condition to prove some nonexistence results for a sequence of values of (n,q), and also to facilitate a computer search and discover a matrix BH(18,14). Furthermore, we use cyclotomic cosets to construct matrices BH(34,10), BH(62,6), BH(82,6), and BH(146,6) for the first time. These matrices have a 2-circulant structure.
