Abstract: In 1991, N. Shalaby conjectured that any additive group mathbbZn, where nequiv1 or 3 (mod 8) and ngeq11, admits a strong Skolem starter and constructed these starters of all admissible orders 11leqnleq57. Shalaby and et al. [O. Ogandzhanyants, M. Kondratieva and N. Shalaby, emph{Strong Skolem Starters}, J. Combin. Des. {�f 27} (2018), no. 1, 5--21] was proved if n=Pii=1kpialphai, where pi is a prime number such that ord(2)piequiv2 (mod 4) and alphai is a non-negative integer, for all i=1,ldots,k, then mathbbZn admits a strong Skolem starter. On the other hand, the author [A. V'azquez-'Avila, emph{A note on strong Skolem starters}, Discrete Math. Accepted] gives different families of strong Skolem starters for mathbbZp than Shalaby et al, where pequiv3 (mod 8) is an odd prime. Recently, the author [A. V'azquez-'Avila, emph{New families of strong Skolem starters}, Submitted] gives different families of strong Skolem starters of mathbbZpn than Shalaby et al, where pequiv3 (mod 8) and n is an integer greater than 1. In this paper, we gives some different families of strong Skolem starters of mathbbZpq, where p,qequiv3 (mod 8) are prime numbers such that p<q and (p−1)mid(q−1).
