Abstract¶
A weighing matrix \(W = (w_{i,j})\) is a square matrix of order \(n\) and entries \(w_{i,j}\) in \(\{0, \pm 1\}\) such that \(WW^T=kI_n\). In his thesis, Strassler gave a table of existence results for circulant weighing matrices with \(n \leq 200\) and \(k \leq 100\). Since then, numerous papers have dealt with open cases in the table.
The author recently wrote a paper with K.T. Arasu and Yiran Zhang, resolving 12 more cases. Rather than publishing a new version of the table in that paper, the results were added to the La Jolla Combinatorics Repository, an online database containing results on covering designs, difference sets and Steiner systems. Here we give that data in the form of a Jupyter book, in the hopes of being more compatible with FAIR data management principles.
