\(V(m,t)\) and its variants (Q5935434)

Let \(q=mt+1\) be a prime power. Let \(C_0\) be a subgroup of order \(t\) of the multiplication group \(\text{GF}(q)\setminus \{0\}\). Let \(C_0, C_1, \dots , C_{m-1}\) be cosets of this subgroup. Then \(V(m,t)\) is defined to be a vector \((b_1,b_2,\dots , b_{m+1})\) with the property that for \(k=1,2,\dots ,m+1\), the set \(\{b_i-b_j \mid i \in \{1,2,\dots ,m+1\}\setminus \{k\}\), \(i-j\equiv k \pmod{m+2}\) and \(1 \leq j\leq m+1\}\) is a set of distinct representives of \(C_0,C_1, \dots , C_{m-1}\). In this paper, the authors obtained spectra for \(V(7,t)\) and some variations of \(V(m,t)\).
