Our main result is the construction of symmetric Hadamard matrices of order q(1 + q) where q is a prime power congruent to 3 mod 8.
The smallest integer v>0 for which no skew-Hadamard matrix of order 4v is known is v=69. We show how to construct several such matrices. We also construct presumably the first example of a skew-Hadamard matrix of order 292, and the first examples of symmetric Hadamard matrices of order 372.
The first examples of D-optimal matrices of orders 222, 234, 258 and 278 are constructed.
We propose a heuristic algorithm for fast computation of the Poincaré series $P_n(t)$ of the invariants of binary forms of degree $n$, viewed as rational functions. The algorithm is based on certain polynomial identities which remain to be proved rigorously. By using it, we have computed the $P_n(t)$ for $n\le30$.
