We establish some properties of mixed difference families. We obtain some criteria for the existence of such families and a special kind of multipliers. Several methods are presented for the construction of difference families by using cyclotomy and genetic algorithms. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 12: 256–270, 2004.
