1 IntroductionIn order to measure various spatial frequencies rela-tive to some area of the sky,n movable antennas areused inm successive configurations. The distancesbetween antennas within configurations determinewhich frequencies are obtained. Thesem successiveconfigurations ofn antennas can give up tom
(n2
)spacings. It is thus required that these distances be-tween antennas within configurations are successivemultiples of a given increment, without hole or re-dundancy.

Let Zv be the group of residues modulov. A (v, k, 1)difference family in Zv, briefly a cyclic (v, k, 1)-DF, is a collectionF of k-subsets ofZv such that∆F ∪ (−∆F) = Zv \ 0.
A cyclic (v, k, 1)-DF =⇒ A (v, k, 1)-BIBD.
A (v, k, 1)-PDF=⇒ A cyclic (v, k, 1)-DF.

Optical Orthogonal Codes
From a set-theoretic perspective, a(v, k, 1) optical orthogonal code,or (v, k, 1)-OOC, is a collectionC of k-subsets ofZv such that∆F ∪ (−∆F) does not have repeated elements inZv \ 0 andthe set-wise stabilizer of eachk-subset ofC is the subgroup0 of Zv.A (v, k, 1)-OOC isoptimal if its size reaches the upper boundb v−1
k(k−1)c.
A (v = k(k − 1)t + 1, k, 1)-PDF =⇒ An optimal (v + i, k, 1)-OOCwith size exactly equal tob v−1+i
k(k−1)c = v−1k(k−1) = t for 0 ≤ i ≤ k(k−1)−1.
Motivation: Optical code-division multiple-access communicationsystems, mobile radio, frequency-hopping spread-spectrum com-munications, radar, sonar signal design, collision channel withoutfeedback, neuromorphic networks, etc.

Difference Triangle Sets
An (n, k)-difference triangle set, or briefly (n, k)-D∆S, is a set∆ = ∆1, ∆2, . . . , ∆n, where∆i = ai0, ai1, . . . , aik, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, is aset of non-negative integers such that0 = ai0 < ai1 < · · · < aik
in the real number system, and the differencesail − aij with1 ≤ i ≤ n and 0 ≤ j < l ≤ k are all distinct. Letm(∆) = maxaik | 1 ≤ i ≤ n be thescopeof ∆, so the scope is atleast equal ton
(k+1
2
). An (n, k)-D∆S is regular if m(∆) = nk(k+1)
2 .Let M(n, k) = minm(∆) | ∆ is an(n, k)-D∆S. If m(∆) = M(n, k),then∆ is said to beoptimal. Clearly, any regular D∆S is optimal.
A regular(n, k)-D∆S⇐⇒ A (2n(k+1
2
)+ 1, k + 1, 1)-PDF.
Applications: The designs of missile guidance codes, convolutionalself-orthogonal codes, optical orthogonal codes, the allocation radiofrequencies to reduce intermodulation interference, and in variousother areas.

Convolutional Codes
Let F [x] denote the ring of polynomials in the indeterminatex over afinite field F , andF [x]n the set of alln-tuplesf = (f1(x), . . . , fn(x))of polynomials fromF [x]. A convolutional codeC is defined to be asubset ofF [x]n, which is (a) closed under componentwise addition andsubtraction, and (b) closed under multiplication by elements ofF [x].
Applications: Digital radio, mobile phones and satellite links.
A construction for convolutional self-orthogonal codes (CSOC’s) basedon D∆S’s was introduced by Robinson and Bernstein. The CSOC cor-responding to the(I, J)–D∆S has generator polynomials

Graceful Labeling of Graphs
Let G = (V, E) be an undirected finite graph without loops or multipleedges. Agraceful labeling (or β-labeling) of a graphG = (V, E) withn vertices andm edges is a one-to-one mappingΨ of the vertex setV (G) into the set0, 1, 2, . . . ,m with this property: if we define, forany edgee = (u, v) ∈ E(G), the valueΩ(e) = |Ψ(u) − Ψ(v)|, thenΩis a one-to-one mapping of the setE(G) onto the set1, 2, . . . ,m. Agraph is calledgraceful if it has a graceful labeling.
The concept of a graceful labeling has been introduced by Rosa as ameans of attacking the famous conjecture of Ringel thatK2n+1 can bedecomposed into2n + 1 subgraphs that are all isomorphic to a giventree withn edges.
A (2n(k2
)+ 1, k, 1)-PDF is equivalent to a graceful labeling of a graph
with n connected components all isomorphic to the complete graph onk vertices.

3 Additive Sequences of PermutationsLet X(1) = (x
(1)1 , . . . , x
(1)m ) be an ordered set of distinct integers. For
j = 2, . . . , n, let X(j) = (x(j)1 , . . . , x
(j)m ) be a permutation of distinct inte-
gers inX(1). Then the ordered set(X(1), X(2), . . . , X(n)) is called anadditivesequence of permutationsof length n andorder m, ASP(n,m) in short, if forevery subsequence of consecutive permutations of the ordered setX(1), theirvector-sum is again a permutation ofX(1). The setX(1) is usually called thebasisof the additive sequence of permutations. In the application of additivesequences of permutations to perfect systems of difference sets, one often con-siders ASP(n,m) with basisX(1) = (−r,−r + 1, . . . ,−1, 0, 1, . . . , r − 1, r),wherem = 2r + 1 andr a positive integer, unless otherwise stated.

X(1) = (−2,−1, 0, 1, 2), X(2) = (0, 1, 2,−2,−1),
X(3) = (1,−2, 0, 2,−1), X(4) = (1, 0,−1,−2, 2).−2 −1 0 1 2−2 0 2 −1 1−1 −2 2 1 0

Adjoining Additional Blocks
In order to utilize Theorem4.1 for constructing newperfect difference families, we need to finds addi-tional blocks with directed differences covering theset[1, r] and possibly the set[6mt + r + 1, 6mt + 6s]for some integers ≥ 0. We first estimate this numbers.
Lemma 4.2Let s be the number of the additionalblocks whose directed differences cover the set[1, r]and possibly the set[6mt + r + 1, 6mt + 6s]. Then
r/6 ≤ s ≤ r/2.

PDF+ SPGDD⇒ PDF
Theorem 4.3If there exist a(v, K, 1)-PDP with difference leaveL and aK ′-SPGDD of typemk for anyk ∈ K, then there exists an(mv,K ′, 1)-PDP withdifference leave[1, m−1
2 ] ∪ L, whereL = ml − m−12 , . . . ,ml − 1, ml,ml +
1, . . . ,ml + m−12 | l ∈ L.
Proof. LetB be the collection of blocks of a given(v, K, 1)-PDP with differenceleaveL. For eachB = b0, b1, . . . , bk−1 ∈ B, by hypothesis, we know thatk ∈ K and there exists aK ′-SPGDD of typemk, F(B), overIk × Im. We canthen construct a collectionA(B) of new blocks with sizes fromK ′ as follows:
A(B) = mbi1 + x1, mbi2 + x2, . . . ,mbik′ + xk′ |
(i1, x1), (i2, x2), . . . , (ik′, xk′) ∈ F(B).In this way, asB ranges over all blocks ofB, we obtain a collection of newblocksA = ∪B∈BA(B), each having size fromK ′, and each element of thenew blocks not exceedingm(v − 1) + (m− 1) = mv − 1. For any two distincti, j ∈ Ik, since∆ijF(B) = −m−1
2 , . . . ,−1, 0, 1, . . . , m−12 , the list of direct
differences fromA = ∪B∈BA(B) is then
∆A = ∪B∈B∆A(B) = m× 1− m− 1

ThereforeA is the collection of blocks of the desired(mv,K ′, 1)-PDP.

Incomplete Perfect Difference Matrix
An n × (m − h) matrix ∆ = (δij) with entries fromIm \ (rIh + r′),where rIh + r′ = ri + r′ | i ∈ Ih ⊆ Im for somer, r′ ∈ Z,is called an incomplete perfect difference matrix with a regu-lar hole H = −h−1
2 r, . . . ,−r, 0, r, . . . , h−12 r, denoted briefly by
IPDM(n, m; h, r), if the entries of each row of∆ comprise all the ele-ments ofIm\(rIh+r′), and for all0 ≤ s < t ≤ n−1, the lists of differ-ences∆ts = δtj− δsj | 0 ≤ j ≤ m−h− 1 are all identical and∆ts =−m−1

2 , . . . ,−1, 0, 1, . . . , h−12 holds
for any0 ≤ s < t ≤ n− 1.
Note that here we are not interested in the parameterr′ since the differ-ences are invariant under any translation of the matrix byr′J , whereJis the all-one matrix. Whenh = 1, we can drop the letterr from the no-tation IPDM(n, m; 1, r) since for anyr ∈ Z, we always haveH = 0.Clearly, by adding the column vector(r′, . . . , r′)T to an IPDM(n, m; 1),we immediately obtain a PDM(n, m).

2 , h)-regular (m, K, 1)-PDP and an idem-potent OA(n, k) for eachk ∈ K, then there exists anIPDM(n− 1, m; t, h).
Furthermore, if there exist an IPDM(n − 1, t; 1) anda PDM(n − 1, t), then so do an IPDM(n − 1, m; 1)and a PDM(n− 1, m), respectively.
Corollary 4.6 Suppose that there exists an(m, K, 1)-PDF. If for eachk ∈ K, there exists an idempotentOA(n, k), then there also exists an IPDM(n−1, m; 1).

Proof for “PDP+Idempotent OA (n, k) ⇒ IPDM”
For each block Bi of size ki of the (m, K, 1)-PDP, B =B1, B2, . . . , Bh, we form an idempotent orthogonal arrayOi withn rows andki
2 columns over theki points ofBi, and then remove theidempotent part ofOi. In this way, we obtain a small “incomplete”orthogonal arrayO′
i with n rows andki(ki − 1) columns without theidempotent part for each block of the(m, K, 1)-PDP. Concatenatingthese small “incomplete” orthogonal arraysO′
i, we obtain a large “in-complete” orthogonal arrayO′ without the idempotent part
O′ = ( O′1 O′
2 · · · O′h ) .
Take out one row fromO′, subtract this row from all other rows term byterm, then we obtain an(n−1)× (
∑1≤i≤hki(ki−1)) arrayO′′. Adding
m−12 to each element ofO′′, we obtain an IPDM(n− 1,
∑1≤i≤hki(ki −
1) + t; t, h) with a regular hole−t−12 h, . . . ,−h, 0, h, . . . , t−1
2 h.From the definition of a perfect difference packing, we know that∑
1≤i≤hki(ki − 1) = m− t.

We list only m−h2 columns of an IPDM(3, m; h, r). Multiply each ele-

Furthermore, if there exists a PDM(3, h), then subtracth−12 from each
element of this PDM(3, h), multiply each resultant element byr, andthen include the new3×h matrix intoD to form a3×m matrix. Finally,addm−1
2 to each element of this3×m matrix. It is easily checked thatthis matrix is a PDM(3, m).

7 Concluding Remarks
In this talk, by observing the equivalence between a PDM(n, m) andan ASP(n, m) and by using combinatorial structures with “holes”,we described various direct and recursive constructions for additivesequences of permutations and perfect difference families. As theirimmediate consequences, we showed that:
Theorem 7.1A (12t + 1, 4, 1)-PDF exists for anyt ≤ 1000 except fort = 2, 3, and an ASP(3, m) exists for any odd3 < m < 200 except form = 9, 11 and possibly form = 59.
However, we should remark that it is still far from the complete set-tlement of the existence problems of perfect difference families withblock sizek, k = 4, 5, and additive sequences of permutations of lengthn, n = 3, 4. Novel ideas are expected in the further research for com-plete solutions for these challenging problems.
