Orthogonal double covers of complete graphs by fat caterpillars

Dalibor Froncek, Uwe Leck (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

An orthogonal double cover (ODC) of the complete graph Kₙ by some graph G is a collection of n spanning subgraphs of Kₙ, all isomorphic to G, such that any two of the subgraphs share exactly one edge and every edge of Kₙ is contained in exactly two of the subgraphs. A necessary condition for such an ODC to exist is that G has exactly n-1 edges. We show that for any given positive integer d, almost all caterpillars of diameter d admit an ODC of the corresponding complete graph.

Orthogonal Resolutions and Latin Squares

Topalova, Svetlana, Zhelezova, Stela (2013)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Resolutions which are orthogonal to at least one other resolution (RORs) and sets of m mutually orthogonal resolutions (m-MORs) of 2-(v, k, λ) designs are considered. A dependence of the number of nonisomorphic RORs and m-MORs of multiple designs on the number of inequivalent sets of v/k − 1 mutually orthogonal latin squares (MOLS) of size m is obtained.

Overlapping latin subsquares and full products

Joshua M. Browning, Petr Vojtěchovský, Ian M. Wanless (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for there to exist a latin square of order n containing two subsquares of order a and b that intersect in a subsquare of order c . We also solve the case of two disjoint subsquares. We use these results to show that: (a) A latin square of order n cannot have more than n m n h / m h subsquares of order m , where h = ( m + 1 ) / 2 . Indeed, the number of subsquares of order m is bounded by a polynomial of degree at most 2 m + 2 in n . (b) For all n 5 there exists a loop of order n in which every...
