Multidimensional Costas Arrays and Their Periodicity (2208.02378v1)
Published 3 Aug 2022 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: A novel higher-dimensional definition for Costas arrays is introduced. This definition works for arbitrary dimensions and avoids some limitations of previous definitions. Some non-existence results are presented for multidimensional Costas arrays preserving the Costas condition when the array is extended periodically throughout the whole space. In particular, it is shown that three-dimensional arrays with this property must have the least possible order; extending an analogous two-dimensional result by H. Taylor. Said result is conjectured to extend for Costas arrays of arbitrary dimensions.
