Embedding a latin square in a pair of orthogonal latin squares

Peter Jenkins

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, it is shown that a latin square of order n with n ≥ 3 and n ≠ 6 can be embedded in a latin square of order n2 which has an orthogonal mate. A similar result for idempotent latin squares is also presented. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 14: 270–276, 2006
