The Existence of N2 Resolvable Latin Squares
نویسندگان
چکیده
An N2 resolvable latin squares is a latin square with no 2×2 subsquares that also has an orthogonal mate. In this paper we show that N2 resolvable latin squares exist for all orders n with n 6= 2, 4, 6, 8

The three-way intersection problem for latin squares
The set of integers k for which there exist three latin squares of order n having precisely k cells identical, with their remaining n − k cells di2erent in all three latin squares, denoted by I [n], is determined here for all orders n. In particular, it is shown that I [n] = {0; : : : ; n2−15}∪ {n2 − 12; n − 9; n2}; for n¿ 8. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملOn the spectrum of r-self-orthogonal Latin squares
Two Latin squares of order n are r-orthogonal if their superposition produces exactly r distinct ordered pairs. If the second square is the transpose of the 3rst one, we say that the 3rst square is r-self-orthogonal, denoted by r-SOLS(n). It has been proved that the necessary condition for the existence of an r-SOLS(n) is n6 r6 n and r ∈ {n + 1; n − 1}. Zhu and Zhang conjectured that there is a...
متن کاملOn the existence of self-orthogonal diagonal Latin squares
A diagonal Latin square is a Latin square whose main diagonal and back diagonal are both transversals. A Latin square is self-orthogonal if it is orthogonal to its transpose. In an earlier paper Danhof, Phillips and Wallis considered the question of the existence of self-orthogonal diagonal Latin squares of order 10. In this paper we shall present some constructions of self-orthogonal diagonal ...
متن کاملA generalisation of t-designs
This paper defines a class of designs which generalise t-designs, resolvable designs, and orthogonal arrays. For the parameters t = 2, k = 3 and λ = 1, the designs in the class consist of Steiner triple systems, Latin squares, and 1-factorisations of complete graphs. For other values of t and k, we obtain t-designs, Kirkman systems, large sets of Steiner triple systems, sets of mutually orthogo...
متن کاملLatin Squares: Transversals and counting of Latin squares
Author: Jenny Zhang First, let’s preview what mutually orthogonal Latin squares are. Two Latin squares L1 = [aij ] and L2 = [bij ] on symbols {1, 2, ...n}, are said to be orthogonal if every ordered pair of symbols occurs exactly once among the n2 pairs (aij , bij), 1 ≤ i ≤ n, 1 ≤ j ≤ n. Now, let me introduce a related concept which is called transversal. A transversal of a Latin square is a se...
