On generalized zero-difference balanced functions (Q2820724)

From the text: For any prime \(p\), the present paper generalizes the definition of zero-difference balanced (ZDB) functions and the corresponding results in [\textit{C. Ding}, \textit{Q. Wang}, and \textit{M. S. Xiong}, ``Three new families of zero-difference balanced functions with applications.'' IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 60, No. 4, 2407--2413 (2014; \url{doi:10.1109/TIT.2014.2306821}); Preprint, \url{arXiv:1312.4252}], i.e., employing \(p\)-cyclotomic sets modulo \(n = p^{m}-1\), constructs two families of G-ZDB functions on (\(\mathbb{Z}_{n}, +\)). Moreover, we can construct constant composition codes and difference system of sets directly from G-ZDB functions. Based on some special G-ZDB functions, we prove that the corresponding constant composition codes are optimal, and the difference systems of sets constructed by the G-ZDB function \(f\) is perfect when \(f\) is a ZDB function.
