Association schemes of symmetric matrices over finite fields of characteristic two (Q1344606)

Association schemes have close connections with coding, design and finite group theory, etc. In 1965, Wan Zhexian first discussed the association schemes based on the \(n\times n\) Hermitian matrices over finite fields, and calculated their parameters when \(n= 2\). Later, Wang Yangxian gave a recurrence calculation formula of the parameters of the above schemes, and generalized this method to the association schemes of alternate and \(m\times n\) matrices. Recently, Huo Yuanji and Zhu Xuelie, Huo Yuanji and Wan Zhexian successively discussed the association schemes based on the symmetric matrices over finite fields of odd characteristic. The present note is a continuation of the previous work, and discusses the association schemes of symmetric matrices over finite fields of characteristic 2.
