Özet

We prove that the intersection number (Formula presented.) is even for every h∈Fq∗, where S is the subgroup of quartic residues in Fq∗, under the assumptions that q is an odd prime power with q≡5(mod16) and k=4. This resolves Conjecture 9 of [2], where the binary codes Cq,k derived from the neighborhood designs of Paley-type bipartite graphs P(q, k) were studied for an odd prime q; our result also extends the conclusion of that conjecture from odd primes to odd prime powers.
