This is the number of simple difference sets of each of the A335865(n) classes. %C A335865 From _Ed Pegg Jr_, May 16 2019, edited by _Hugo Pfoertner_, May 13 2024: (Start) %C A335865 (n^2+n+1,n+1) difference sets exist when n is a prime power. %C A335865 (7,3), (1,2,4) %C A335865 (13,4), (0,1,3,9) %C A335865 (21,5), (3,6,7,12,14) (A095029) %C A335865 (31,6), (1,5,11,24,25,27) (A095030) %C A335865 (57,8), (0,1,6,15,22,26,45,55) (A095032) %C A335865 (73,9), (0,1,12,20,26,30,33,35,57) (A095035) %C A335865 (91,10), (0,2,6,7,18,21,31,54,63,71) (A095036) %C A335865 (133,12), (1,10,11,13,27,31,68,75,83,110,115,121) (A095038) %C A335865 (183,14), (1,13,20,21,23,44,61,72,77,86,90,116,122,169) (A095040) (End) %C A335865 Is a(n) = A138077(n-1)? - _R.

The simple Singer difference set of order 2 is denoted by (7, 3, 1) (Fano plane). There are two classes (A335866(2) = 2) obtained from the representative difference sets {0, 1, 3} and {0, 1, 5} by element-wise addition of 1, 2, ..., 6 taken modulo 7. Each class consists of 7 simple difference sets. %Y A335865 Cf.
