Graeco-Latin squares


Let A=(aij) and B=(bij) be two n×n matrices. We define their as the matrix whose (i,j)th entry is the pair (aij,bij).

A Graeco-Latin square is then the join of two Latin squaresMathworldPlanetmath.

The name comes from Euler’s use of Greek and Latin letters to differentiate the entries on each array.
