2Authored explanation
Wiedemann's 1992 computation extended the table of lexicographically first minimum cyclic difference covers through modulus 133. Its modulus-127 result has cardinality 13, which excludes a 12-element cover.
Haanpää independently computed minimum difference covers for every finite Abelian group of order at most 127. His search recursively extends subsets, rejects affine-equivalent copies, and prunes a partial set once its repeated differences exceed the final collision allowance. For a cyclic group, the equivalence mappings used by the canonicity test are exactly affine maps \(x\mapsto ux+c\) with \(u\) a unit. The orderly-search theorem proves that every canonical subset is visited. Section 5 reports agreement with Wiedemann on the minimum cardinality of every cyclic group through order 127.
For this modulus, affine normalization may send any ordered pair of distinct elements to \((0,1)\). A hypothetical 12-set would then have to cover the 63 nonzero inverse classes using 66 unordered pairs, so only three repeated inverse classes are allowed. This is the exact monotone collision prune described by the published method. The two implementations supply independent exhaustive evidence for the lower endpoint 13.
