Review text

The paper is a continuation of previous publications of the authors and is devoted to problems on the construction of some combinatorial orthogonal arrays by using quadratic functions over finite fields \(\mathrm{GF}(q)\) of odd prime power order \(q\). The paper attracts the attention of specialists by the rare combination of methods from number theory and finite projective geometry. The most significant result is the introduction of the quadratic character \(\chi\) of \(\mathrm{GF} (q)\) and the elaboration of ways of constructing a set of orthogonal arrays using finite projective geometry methods. It should be noted that, firstly, in the statement of Lemma 3.1 the words ``square and ``non-square must be interchanged, and, secondly, the phrase ``\(a\) is a square means ``\(a\) is a square in \(\mathrm{GF}(q)\).
