Abstract:
This paper deals with the search for triples of partially orthogonal Latin squares of order 10. For every known pair of orthogonal Latin squares of order 10 we add a third diagonal Latin square in such a way that the orthogonality condition between it and squares from a considered pair coincides in the maximum possible number of cells. Two approaches are used: the first one is based on reducing an original problem to Boolean satisfiability problem; the second one is based on Brute force method. Several triples of the aforementioned kind with high characteristics were constructed. The experiments were held in the volunteer computing project SAT@home and on a computing cluster.
