Abstract: A function $f$ from an Abelian group $(A,+)$ to an Abelian group $(B,+)$ is $(n,m,S)$ zero-difference (ZD), if $S=lambd{a}_{a}lphamidalphainAsetminus0$ where $n=|A|$, $m=|f(A)|$ and $lambd{a}_{a}lpha=|xinAmidf(x+alpha)=f(x)|$. A function is called zero-difference balanced (ZDB) if $S=lambda$ where $lambda$ is a constant number. ZDB functions have many good applications. However it is point out that many known zero-difference balanced functions are already given in the language of partitioned difference family (PDF). The problem that whether zero-difference "not balanced" functions still have good applications as ZDB functions, is investigated in this paper. By using the change point technic, zero-difference functions with good applications are constructed from known ZDB function. Then optimal difference systems of sets (DSS) and optimal frequency-hopping sequences (FHS) are obtained with new parameters. Furthermore the sufficient and necessary conditions of these being optimal, are given.
