The second enumeration is based on the classification of Hermitian self-dual 18 9 codes over GF 4 completed in this paper. It is shown that up to monomial equivalence there are 85 generalized Hadamard matrices H 6 3 and 245 inequivalent Hermitian selfdual codes of length 18 over GF 4 . 1 Introduction A generalized Hadamard matrix H ụ g hjj of order n gụ over a multiplicative group G of order g is a gụ X gụ matrix with entries from G with the property that for PRESTO Japan Science and Technology Agency Kawaguchi Saitama 332-0012 Japan THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF COMBINATORICS 17 2010 R171 1 every i j 1 i j gụ each of the multi-sets hish 1 1 s gụ contains every element of G exactly ụ times. It is known 12 Theorem that if G is abelian then H ụ g T is also a generalized Hadamard matrix where H ụ g T denotes the transpose of H ụ g see also 5 Theorem . This result does not generalize to .
