Three experimental pearls in Costas arrays

arXiv:0706.3362

Abstract

The results of 3 experiments in Costas arrays are presented, for which theoretical explanation is still not available: the number of dots on the main diagonal of exponential Welch arrays, the parity populations of Golomb arrays generated in fields of characteristic 2, and the maximal cross-correlation between pairs of Welch or Golomb arrays generated in fields of size equal to a Sophie Germain prime.
