Qualified residue difference sets with zero (Q1381865)

In 1997 [Discrete Math. 167-168, 405-410 (1997; Zbl 0884.05020)] the same authors had proved that biquadratic qualified residue difference sets (qrds) exist for primes \(p\) if and only if \(p= 16n^2+1\) and sextic qrds exist if and only if \(p= 108n^2+1\). In the present paper, the definition of qrds is given and it is shown (Theorems 1 and 2) that if zero is counted as a residue, then it is possible to obtain further qrds for both quartic as well as sextic residues. Theorem 3 is a further existence theorem of qrds for more general powers.
