Latin Squares

A latin square of order \(n\) is an \(n \times n\) array such that each symbol \(s \in \{ 0, 1, \dots, n-1\}\) appears precisely once in each row, and precisely once in each column. A partial latin square of order \(n\) is an \(n \times n\) array such that each symbol \(s \in \{ 0, 1, \dots, n-1\}\) appears at most once in each row, and at most once in each column. Empty cells are denoted by \(-1\). A latin square \(L\) is a completion of a partial latin square \(P\) if \(P \subseteq L\). If \(P\) completes to just \(L\) then \(P\) has unique completion.

A latin bitrade \((T_1,\, T_2)\) is a pair of partial latin squares such that:

1. \(\{ (i,\,j) \mid (i,\,j,\,k) \in T_1 \text{ for some symbol }k \} = \{ (i,\,j) \mid (i,\,j,\,k') \in T_2 \text{ for some symbol }k' \};\)

2. for each \((i,\,j,\,k) \in T_1\) and \((i,\,j,\,k') \in T_2\), \(k \neq k'\);

3. the symbols appearing in row \(i\) of \(T_1\) are the same as those of row \(i\) of \(T_2\); the symbols appearing in column \(j\) of \(T_1\) are the same as those of column \(j\) of \(T_2\).

Intuitively speaking, a bitrade gives the difference between two latin squares, so if \((T_1,\, T_2)\) is a bitrade for the pair of latin squares \((L_1,\, L_2)\), then \(L1 = (L2 \setminus T_1) \cup T_2\) and \(L2 = (L1 \setminus T_2) \cup T_1\).

This file contains

1. LatinSquare class definition;

2. some named latin squares (back circulant, forward circulant, abelian \(2\)-group);

3. functions is_partial_latin_square and is_latin_square to test if a LatinSquare object satisfies the definition of a latin square or partial latin square, respectively;

4. tests for completion and unique completion (these use the C++ implementation of Knuth’s dancing links algorithm to solve the problem as a instance of \(0-1\) matrix exact cover);

5. functions for calculating the \(\tau_i\) representation of a bitrade and the genus of the associated hypermap embedding;

6. Markov chain of Jacobson and Matthews (1996) for generating latin squares uniformly at random (provides a generator interface);

7. a few examples of \(\tau_i\) representations of bitrades constructed from the action of a group on itself by right multiplication, functions for converting to a pair of LatinSquare objects.

class sage.combinat.matrices.latin.LatinSquare(*args)

Bases: object

Latin squares.

This class implements a latin square of order n with rows and columns indexed by the set 0, 1, …, n-1 and symbols from the same set. The underlying latin square is a matrix(ZZ, n, n). If L is a latin square, then the cell at row r, column c is empty if and only if L[r, c] < 0. In this way we allow partial latin squares and can speak of completions to latin squares, etc.

There are two ways to declare a latin square:

Empty latin square of order n:

sage: n = 3
sage: L = LatinSquare(n)
sage: L
[-1 -1 -1]
[-1 -1 -1]
[-1 -1 -1]

Latin square from a matrix:

sage: M = matrix(ZZ, [[0, 1], [2, 3]])
sage: LatinSquare(M)
[0 1]
[2 3]

actual_row_col_sym_sizes()

Bitrades sometimes end up in partial latin squares with unused rows, columns, or symbols. This function works out the actual number of used rows, columns, and symbols.

Warning

We assume that the unused rows/columns occur in the lower right of self, and that the used symbols are in the range {0, 1, …, m} (no holes in that list).

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.matrices.latin import *
sage: B = back_circulant(3)
sage: B[0,2] = B[1,2] = B[2,2] = -1
sage: B[0,0] = B[2,1] = -1
sage: B
[-1  1 -1]
[ 1  2 -1]
[ 2 -1 -1]
sage: B.actual_row_col_sym_sizes()
(3, 2, 2)

apply_isotopism(row_perm, col_perm, sym_perm)

An isotopism is a permutation of the rows, columns, and symbols of a partial latin square self. Use isotopism() to convert a tuple (indexed from 0) to a Permutation object.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.matrices.latin import *
sage: B = back_circulant(5)
sage: B
[0 1 2 3 4]
[1 2 3 4 0]
[2 3 4 0 1]
[3 4 0 1 2]
[4 0 1 2 3]
sage: alpha = isotopism((0,1,2,3,4))
sage: beta  = isotopism((1,0,2,3,4))
sage: gamma = isotopism((2,1,0,3,4))
sage: B.apply_isotopism(alpha, beta, gamma)
[3 4 2 0 1]
[0 2 3 1 4]
[1 3 0 4 2]
[4 0 1 2 3]
[2 1 4 3 0]

clear_cells()

Mark every cell in self as being empty.

EXAMPLES:

sage: A = LatinSquare(matrix(ZZ, [[0, 1], [2, 3]]))
sage: A.clear_cells()
sage: A
[-1 -1]
[-1 -1]

column(x)

Return column x of the latin square.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.matrices.latin import *
sage: back_circulant(3).column(0)
(0, 1, 2)

contained_in(Q)

Return True if self is a subset of Q?

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.matrices.latin import *
sage: P = elementary_abelian_2group(2)
sage: P[0, 0] = -1
sage: P.contained_in(elementary_abelian_2group(2))
True
sage: back_circulant(4).contained_in(elementary_abelian_2group(2))
False

disjoint_mate_dlxcpp_rows_and_map(allow_subtrade)

Internal function for find_disjoint_mates.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.matrices.latin import *
sage: B = back_circulant(4)

dlxcpp_has_unique_completion()

Check if the partial latin square self of order n can be embedded in precisely one latin square of order n.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.matrices.latin import *
sage: back_circulant(2).dlxcpp_has_unique_completion()
True
sage: P = LatinSquare(2)
sage: P.dlxcpp_has_unique_completion()
False
sage: P[0, 0] = 0
sage: P.dlxcpp_has_unique_completion()
True

dumps()

Since the latin square class does not hold any other private variables we just call dumps on self.square:

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.matrices.latin import *
sage: back_circulant(2) == loads(dumps(back_circulant(2)))
True

filled_cells_map()

Number the filled cells of self with integers from {1, 2, 3, …}.

INPUT:

• self – partial latin square self (empty cells have negative values)

OUTPUT:

A dictionary cells_map where cells_map[(i,j)] = m means that (i,j) is the m-th filled cell in P, while cells_map[m] = (i,j).

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.combinat.matrices.latin import *
sage: (a, b, c, G) = alternating_group_bitrade_generators(1)
sage: (T1, T2) = bitrade_from_group(a, b, c, G)
sage: D = T1.filled_cells_map()
sage: {i: v for i,v in D.items() if i in ZZ}

sage.combinat.matrices.latin.LatinSquare_generator(L_start, check_assertions=False)

Generator for a sequence of uniformly distributed latin squares, given L_start as the initial latin square.

This code implements the Markov chain algorithm of Jacobson and Matthews (1996), see below for the BibTex entry. This generator will never throw the StopIteration exception, so it provides an infinite sequence of latin squares.

EXAMPLES:

Use the back circulant latin square of order 4 as the initial square and print the next two latin squares given by the Markov chain:

sage: from sage.combinat.matrices.latin import *
sage: g = LatinSquare_generator(back_circulant(4))
sage: next(g).is_latin_square()
True

sage.combinat.matrices.latin.isotopism(p)

Return a Permutation object that represents an isotopism (for rows, columns or symbols of a partial latin square).

For a definition of isotopism, see the wikipedia section on isotopism.

INPUT:

According to the type of input (see examples below):

• an integer \(n\) – the function returns the identity on \(1,...,n\).

• a string representing a permutation in disjoint cycles notation, e.g. \((0,1,2)(3,4,5)\) – the corresponding permutation is returned, shifted by 1 to act on \(1,...,n\).

• list/tuple of tuples – assumes disjoint cycle notation, see previous entry.

• a list of integers – the function adds \(1\) to each member of the list, and returns the corresponding permutation.

• a PermutationGroupElement p – returns a permutation describing p without any shift.

The product t1*t2*t3 is the identity, i.e. it fixes every point:

sage: len((t1*t2*t3).fixed_points()) == T1.nr_filled_cells()
True

sage.combinat.matrices.latin.tau2(T1, T2, cells_map)

The definition of \(\tau_2\) is

\[\begin{split}\tau_2 : T1 \rightarrow T1 \\ \tau_2 = \beta_3^{-1} \beta_1\end{split}\]

where the composition is left to right and \(\beta_i : T2 \rightarrow T1\) changes just the \(i^{th}\) coordinate of a triple.

where the composition is left to right and \(\beta_i : T2 \rightarrow T1\) changes just the \(i^{th}\) coordinate of a triple.

sage.combinat.matrices.latin.tau_to_bitrade(t1, t2, t3)

Given permutations t1, t2, t3 that represent a latin bitrade, convert them to an explicit latin bitrade (T1, T2). The result is unique up to isotopism.

EXAMPLES:

sage: T1 = back_circulant(5)
sage: x = isotopism( (0,1,2,3,4) )
sage: y = isotopism(5) # identity
