A general construction of E(s2)-optimal supersaturated designs via supplementary difference sets

Supplementary difference sets can be used to construct a variety of combinatorial designs. In this work, we construct supplementary difference sets that provide E(s2)-optimal, two-level supersaturated designs with the equal occurrence property. Comparisons are made with previous works and it is shown that the proposed method gives promising results for the construction of supersaturated designs with good properties.
