This paper presents a search technique based on the periodicity properties of the existing construction techniques which finds previously unknown Costas arrays for {N} = 29, {N} = 36, and {N} = 42. These are the first ’new’ Costas arrays to be determined in nearly 20 years, excepting those found by exhaustive search for {N} = 25.}, bib2html_pubtype = {Conference Papers}, bib2html_rescat = {Generation Methods}, bib2html_dl_pdf = "http://www.costasarrays.org/costasrefs/rickard04searching.pdf", }
