Abstract
A collection of complex sequences of length v is complementary if the sum of their periodic autocorrelation function values at all non-zero shifts is constant. For a complex sequence A=[a_0,a_1,...,a_{v-1}] of length v=dm we define the m-compressed sequence A^{(d)} of length d whose terms are the sums a_i + a_{i+d} + ... + a_{i+(m-1)d}. We prove that the m-compression of a complementary collection of sequences is also complementary. The compression procedure can be used to simplify the construction of complementary {+1,-1}-sequences of composite length. In particular, we construct several supplementary difference sets (v;r,s;lambda) with v even and lambda=(r+s)-v/2, given here for the first time. There are 15 normalized parameter sets (v;r,s;lambda) with v <= 50 for which the existence question was open. We resolve all but one of these cases.
