COMMENTS
| A (v,k,lambda) cyclic difference set is a subset D={d_1,d_2,...,d_k} of the integers modulo v such that {1,2,...,v-1} can each be represented as a difference (d_i-d_j) modulo v in exactly lambda different ways. Difference sets with lambda=1 (planar difference sets) have group order n=k-1. The Prime Power Conjecture states that all Abelian planar difference sets have order n a prime power. It is known that no cyclic planar difference sets of nonprime power order n exist with n < 2*10^9 (see Baumert, Gordon link)
