Abstract:
Two partial latin squares are orthogonal provided that when they are superimposed any ordered pairs obtained are distinct. The purpose of this paper is to show that any collection of pairwise orthogonal finite partial latin squares can be embedded into pairwise orthogonal finite latin squares.References
