Singer graceful-graph conjecture for finite-field graph decompositions

Let [m]q=(qm1)/(q1)[m]_q=(q^m-1)/(q-1) denote the qq-analog of mm. A graph is Singer-graceful when it satisfies the graceful-labeling condition associated with the Singer difference set. For integers vv and ii with 1i[v2]q1\leq i\leq [v-2]_q, let Γ\Gamma be a regular graph of order [v1]q[v-1]_q and degree qiqi. Singer graceful-graph conjecture. The graph Γ\Gamma is Singer-graceful, and consequently there exists a cyclic 22-(v,Γ,i)(v,\Gamma,i) design over Fq\mathbb{F}_q. This is presented as a specialization of the preceding difference-set conjecture; it would produce an infinite family of non-trivial graph decompositions over finite fields, and the source gives no resolution.
