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.

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
A construction for a row-complete latin square of order n, where n is any odd composite number other than 9, is given in this article. Since row-complete latin squares of order 9 and of even order have previously been constructed, this proves that row-complete latin squares of every composite order
## Abstract It is shown that a critical set in a Latin square of order __n__β₯8 has to have at least $\left \lfloor {4n-8}\over {3}\right\rfloor$ elements. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
