Abstract

The investigation of Hadamard matrices provides an ancient problem in algebra which has extensive links to various real-world applications, such as signal transformation. In this work, we investigate a conjecture on the form of the solution corresponding to a special case of 6×6 complex Hadamard matrices. Establishing this conjecture will substantially influence the development of so-called non-H2-reducible Hadamard matrices. To build our case, we first establish two encompassing lemmas based on the geometric properties of unit modulus complex numbers with sum zero. Then, using these lemmas we establish the conjecture for various special cases. Finally, we take the general form of the problem and simply it down to a system of trigonometric equations. The numerical evidence presented give strong evidence of validity suggested a potential path for a complete proof.
