[Turkmath:9821] Sabancı Üniv. Math. Colloquium (May 16 Friday, 16:00): Jonathan Jedwab, 3-phase Golay sequence triads

[wmeidl]

Dear All,

may I remind you that tomorrow Jonathan Jedwab will give a Sabancı 
University Math. Colloquium talk in *Karakoy*:*

Jonathan Jedwab,* Simon Fraser University, Canada
*Title: *3-phase Golay sequence triads*
Date: *Friday, 16.05.2014, 16:00*
Place:* Sabanci University, Karakoy Minerva Han


Abstract:
Golay sequence pairs have been applied in multislit spectrometry, 
optical time domain reflectometry, multicarrier wireless transmission, 
and medical ultrasound.
They are closely related to Barker sequences and Reed-Muller codes. In 
1990, Eliahou, Kervaire and Saffari used a polynomial formulation to 
constrain the possible
length of a Golay sequence pair; no further general nonexistence results 
have been found.
3-phase Golay sequence triads were introduced by Frank in 1980, but have 
since been largely neglected even though they are particularly suited to 
practical implementation.
I shall describe constructions for infinite families of 3-phase Golay 
sequence triads, and discuss numerical results suggesting these triads 
have a much richer existence
pattern than the more familiar Golay sequence pairs. I shall outline an 
elementary argument giving the first general nonexistence result for 
3-phase Golay sequence triads.

This is joint work with Aki Avis.


All interested are most welcome.
