This paper concerns the problem of the existence of Hadamard difference sets in nonabelian groups of order 400. By introducing a new construction method, we construct new difference sets in 20 groups. We survey non-existence results, verifying non-existence in 45 groups.
Keywords: difference set., Transitive incidence structure, block design.
