Denote by LS(v, n) a pair of orthogonal latin squares of side v with orthogonal subsquares of side n. It is proved by using a generalized singular direct product that for every odd integer n ~>304 or every even integer n ~> 304 in some infinite families, an LS(v, n) exists if and only if v>~3n. It i
Maximal sets of s mutually orthogonal Latin squares of order v are constructed for infinitely many new pairs (s,v).
It is shown that for both v and n even, v > n > 0, there exists a pair of orthogonal latin squares of order v with an aligned subsquare of order n if and only if v ~> 3n, v ~ 6, n 4= 2, 6. This is the final case in showing that the above result is true for all v J: 6 and for all n ~ 2, 6. When n = 6
