The maximal determinant of cocyclic (-1,1)-matrices over \(D_{2t}\). (English) Zbl 1236.05043

Summary: Cocyclic construction has been successfully used for Hadamard matrices of order \(n\). These (-1,1)-matrices satisfy that \(HH^{T}=H^{T}H=nI\) and give the solution to the maximal determinant problem when \(n=1,2\) or a multiple of 4. In this paper, we approach the maximal determinant problem using cocyclic matrices when \(n\equiv 2(\mod 4)\). More concretely, we give a reformulation of the criterion to decide whether or not the \(2t\times 2t\) determinant with entries \(\pm 1\) attains the Ehlich-Wojtas’ bound in the \(D_{2t}\)-cocyclic framework. We also provide some algorithms for constructing \(D_{2t}\)-cocyclic matrices with large determinants and some explicit calculations up to \(t=19\).
