    Abstract

    We describe algorithms for computing maximal determinants of binary circulant matrices of small orders. Here “binary matrix” means a matrix whose elements are drawn from {0, 1} or {−1, 1}. We describe efficient parallel algorithms for the search, using Duval’s algorithm for generation of necklaces and the well-known representation of the determinant of a circulant in terms of roots of unity. Tables of maximal determinants are given for orders ≤ 52. Our computations extend earlier results and disprove two plausible conjectures.
