Conjecture on eventual completion of simple partial multi-latin squares
Let and be positive integers. A simple partial -latin square is a partial -latin square in which no symbol is repeated within a cell. Eventual embedding conjecture. There exists a finite value such that, for every , every simple partial -latin square of order embeds in a simple -latin square of order . The preceding theorem establishes the analogous embedding result without the simplicity requirement; determining whether simplicity can also be preserved remains open.
