Finite searches, Chowla's cosine problem, and large Newman polynomials

Idris Mercer

A length $n$ cosine sum is an expression of the form $cos a_{1} θ + \dots + cos a_{n} θ$ where $a_{1} < \dots < a_{n}$ are positive integers, and a length $n$ Newman polynomial is an expr…

If $a$ and $d$ are relatively prime, we refer to the set of integers congruent to $a$ mod $d$ as an `eligible' arithmetic progression. A theorem of Dirichlet says that every eligib…

A unified approach to autocorrelation of Frank, Chu, and Milewski sequences

Idris Mercer

We construct a family of perfect polyphase sequences that has the Frank sequences, Chu sequences, and Milewski sequences as special cases. This is not the most general construction…
