We show that any partial 3r Γ3r Latin square whose filled cells lie in two disjoint r Γr sub-squares can be completed. We do this by proving the more general result that any partial 3r by 3r Latin square, with filled cells in the top left 2r Γ 2r square, for which there is a pairing of the columns s

In this article it is shown how to construct a row-complete latin square of order mn, given one of order m and given a sequencing of a group of order n. This yields infinitely many new orders for which row-complete latin squares can be constructed.
The HAHN-BANACH-theorem is known to have fundamental importance for several fields of mathematics. This theorem is not used concerning functionals, but operators which map into a real partially ordered vector space. In this paper is shown that the validity of this theorem is equivalent t o the vali
