About $CW(512,16^2)$
Definitions: A weighing matrix $W = W(n,k)$ with weight $k$ is a square matrix of order $n$ and entries $w_{ij}$ in $\{0, \pm 1\}$ such that $WW^T=kI$,
where $I$ is the identity matrix. A circulant ...

Ranks of higher incidence matrices of designs
In 1978 Doyen, Hubaut and Vandensavel proved that if $S$ is a Steiner triple system $S(2,3,v)$ then the $GF(2)$ rank of its incidence matrix $N$ is
$$
Rk_{2}(N)=v-(d_{p}+1),
$$
where $d_{p}$ is the ...

Linear algebra proofs in combinatorics?
Simple linear algebra methods are a surprisingly powerful tool to prove combinatorial results. Some examples of combinatorial theorems with linear algebra proofs are the (weak) perfect graph theorem, ...
