CAN ( t, k, v ) = min N ∈ N { N : ∃ CA ( N ; t, k, v ) } .

Proof: Let q = 6 t + 1 and let α ∈ F q a primitive element. Let θ = ( α t + 1)2 − 1 . We define X = ( F q × { 1 , 2 } ) ∪ {∞} . Let us construct the first parallel class with the following ste of blocks: Π 0 = {{∞ , (0 , 1) , (0 , 2) }} ∪ {{ ( α i , 1) , ( α i + t , 1) , ( θα i , 2) } : 0 ≤ i ≤ t − 1 , 2 t ≤ i ≤ 3 t − 1 , 4 t ≤ i ≤ 5 t − 1 } ∪ {{ θα i + t , 2) , ( θα i +3 t , 2) , ( θα i +5 t , 2) } : 0 ≤ i ≤ t − 1 } .

(This was only rediscovered around 2005.) 2 In Japan, Nikoli, Inc. first published puzzles in the Monthly Nikolist in 1984. 3 Maki Kaji (Nikoli President) originally named named the puzzle Suuji Wa Dokushin Ni Kagiru (”the numbers must be single”), then abbreviated it to “Sudoku” (Su = number, Doku = single). 4 International hit by 2005.

  14. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs Sudoku Definition A Sudoku square is a 9 × 9 array using the numbers 1 , . . . , 9 arranged so that 1 Each row has each number once. 2 Each column has each number once. 3 Each of the 9, 3 × 3 subsquares has each number once. We also use numbers 0 , . . . , 8 for convenience. There are innumerous generalizations of Sudoku including diagonal Sudoku, even-odd Sudoku, colored Sudoku, geometry Sudoku (irregular regions), and many more.

  17. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs Latin Squares Let n be a positive integer. A Latin square of order n is an n × n array on n distinct symbols such that every symbol appears exactly once in every row and column. Here are two examples: 0 1 2 0 1 2 L 1 = 1 2 0 L 2 = 2 0 1 2 0 1 1 2 0 Two Latin squares are called orthogonal if when superimposed each of the n 2 pairs appear exactly once.

  18. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs A set { L 1 , . . . , L t } of Latin squares is mutually orthogonal (MOLS) if L i is orthogonal to L j for all i � = j . Mutually orthogonal Latin squares were originally considered by Euler (1779) for military parade arrangements: Six different regiments have six officers, each one holding a different rank (of six different ranks altogether). Can these 36 officers be arranged in a square formation so that each row and column contains one officer of each rank and one from each regiment? The solution requires a pair of MOLS of order 6 . The answer is negative: we cannot have this arrangement for n = 6 (or n = 2 ). For n = 3 (3 regiments and 3 officers), see the previous slide!

  19. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs Let N ( n ) be the maximum number of MOLS of orden n . Theorem Given n ≥ 2 , there does not exist n MOLS( n ), that is, N ( n ) ≤ n − 1 . Proof: Let s MOLS( n ): L 1 , . . . , L s , and assume without loss of generality that the first row of each L i is [1 , 2 , . . . , n ] . The values L 1 (2 , 1) , . . . , L s (2 , 1) are all distinct since if L i (2 , 1) = L j (2 , 1) = x the pair ( x, x ) would appear in positions (2 , 1) and (1 , x ) . Since L (1 , 1) = 1 , then L i (2 , 1) � = 1 , for all 1 ≤ i ≤ s . Since we have s distinct elements of { 2 , . . . , n } , we have s ≤ n − 1 . Check the case n = 3 : why there can not be more than n − 1 = 2 Latin squares? Finite Fields, Applications and Open Problems Daniel Panario

  20. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs Bose (1938) proved that if q is a prime power, N ( q ) = q − 1 . Idea: Let α ∈ F ∗ q and define the Latin square L α ( i, j ) = i + αj , where i, j ∈ F q . The set of Latin squares { L α : α ∈ F ∗ q } is a set of q − 1 MOLS of order q . We only know that this is true in the prime power case where we can use finite fields. Big open problem: (Prime Power Conjecture) There are n − 1 MOLS order n iff n is prime power.

Sudoku imposes the additional restriction that nine particular 3 adjacent subsquares must also contain the digits 1 to 9 . One can construct some classes of Sudokus using ideas from Latin squares like rotations. One can also use 3 × 3 subsquares close to “magic” squares . . . like in our previous example! However these are easy Sudokus. A magic square of order n has each of the numbers 1 , . . . , n 2 exactly once, and has every row, every column and every diagonal summing to a constant value (magic sum) n ( n 2 + 1) / 2 .

  29. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs Costas Arrays Costas arrays were introduced by John Costas in 1965 for a sonar application. These arrays have low auto-ambiguity function, used to counter-attack echo. This make them useful in applications in sonar and radar communications, as well as CDMA (code-division multiple access) fiber-optic local area networks. A Costas array of order n is an n × n array of dots and blanks which satisfies n dots, n ( n − 1) blanks, with exactly one dot in each row and column; and all segments between pairs of dots are different.

  40. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs Orthogonal Arrays Previously, we consider an orthogonal array OA ( t, k, v ) as a v t × k array with entries from a set V of size v satisfying that for any v t × t subarray each t -tuple of V t appears exactly once as a row. Let us consider t = 2 , and index (number of repetitions) equal to 1 . Definition Let us consider integers k ≥ 2 and n ≥ 1 . An orthogonal array OA ( k, n ) is an array A with dimension n 2 × k and entries from a set X of cardinality n , such that in any two columns every ordered pair of symbols from X appears exactly in 1 row of A . Orthogonal arrays are related to various combinatorial objects including MOLS and codes. Finite Fields, Applications and Open Problems Daniel Panario

  41. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs Orthogonal arrays and MOLS Theorem An OA ( s + 2 , n ) exists if and only if s MOLS( n ) exist. Idea of proof: Given L 1 , . . . , L s , construct tuples ( i, j, L 1 ( i, j ) , . . . , L s ( i, j )) as rows of the OA for all 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n . Each pair of symbols occurs in each pair of columns ( a, b ) : a = 1 , b = 2 (by construction) a = 1 , b ≥ 3 (a row of L b − 2 is a permutation) a = 2 , b ≥ 3 (a column of L b − 2 is a permutation) a, b ≥ 3 ( L a − 2 and L b − 2 are orthogonal).

  43. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs OA Constructions via Finite Fields Theorem Let q be a prime power and 2 ≤ k ≤ q . Then, there exists an OA ( k, q ) . Proof: Let a 1 , . . . , a k distinct elements in F q (they exist since k ≤ q ). Let us consider v 1 , v 2 ∈ ( F q ) k : v 1 = (1 , . . . , 1) , v 2 = ( a 1 , . . . , a k ) , and define the rows of A , with indexes in F q × F q , by row ( i, j ) of A : iv 1 + jv 2 . To prove that A is an orthogonal array, pick any two columns c and d , 1 ≤ c < d ≤ k , and let x, y ∈ F q . We need to show that there exist a unique row ( i, j ) of A such that A (( i, j ) , c ) = x and A (( i, j ) , d ) = y . This gives a system in the unknowns i and j : Finite Fields, Applications and Open Problems Daniel Panario

  44. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs i + ja c = x i + ja d = y. Subtracting we get j ( a c − a d ) = x − y . Since ( a c − a d ) � = 0 , there exists a multiplicative inverse ( a c − a d ) − 1 ∈ F q . We conclude that j = ( a c − a d ) − 1 ( x − y ) , and substituting we have i = x − ja c = x − a c ( a c − a d ) − 1 ( x − y ) . We can extend the above OA ( q, q ) to construct an OA ( q + 1 , q ) . Theorem Let q be a prime power. Then, there exists an OA ( q + 1 , q ) . Prova: Construct an OA ( q, q ) as above. Include a column ( q + 1) with A (( i, j ) , q + 1) = j for all i, j . We get an OA ( q + 1 , q ) . Finite Fields, Applications and Open Problems Daniel Panario

  45. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs Applications of orthogonal arrays OAs can be seen as maximum distance separable (MDS) codes (see, for example, Paterson and Stinson, 2014). These are codes that meet the Singleton bound ( d + k = n + 1 ). OAs can also be used for secret sharing, as we commented. An OA ( t, k, n ) is used to distribute n shares with threshold t , having n t possible keys. The number of possible shares in a threshold scheme must be greater than or equal to the number of possible secrets. If the number of possible secrets in a threshold scheme equals the number of possible shares, the scheme is ideal. Ideal threshold schemes are equivalent to combinatorial orthogonal arrays and maximum distance separable (MDS) codes. Finite Fields, Applications and Open Problems Daniel Panario

  46. Finite Fields Combinatorial Objects Latin Squares and Sudoku Costas Arrays OAs, CAs and OOAs Orthogonal Arrays and Ramp Schemes A ( s, t, n ) -ramp is a generalization of threshold schemes in which there are two thresholds: s is the lower threshold value and t is the upper threshold. In a ramp scheme, any t of the n players can compute the secret, and no subset of s players can determine the secret. A ( t − 1 , t, n ) -ramp scheme is a ( t, n ) threshold scheme. The relation between ramp schemes and combinatorial arrays is less clear; see the recent article by Stinson (Discrete Mathematics, 2018) where he connects these schemes with augmented orthogonal arrays.

We covered some historic results related to several types of designs, latin squares and Costas arrays. We also showed an example where finite fields did not produce interesting Sudokus.
