Abstract
A collection of disjoint subsets A = {A 1 ,A 2 ,...,A m } of a finite abelian group is said to have the bimodal property if, for any non-zero group element δ, either δ never occurs as a difference between an element of A i and an element of some other set A j , or else for every element a i in A i there is an element a j ∈ A j for some j 6= i such that a i − a j = δ. This property arises in various familiar situations, such as the cosets of a fixed subgroup or in a group partition, and has applications to the construction of optimal algebraic manipulation detection (AMD) codes. In this paper, we obtain a structural characterisation for bimodal collections of sets.
