The theory and application of Latin bitrades: a survey

NJ Cavenagh - Mathematica Slovaca, 2008 - Springer
A latin bitrade is a pair of partial latin squares which are disjoint, occupy the same set of non-
empty cells, and whose corresponding rows and columns contain the same sets of symbols …

Combinatorial trades: a survey of recent results

EJ Billington - Designs 2002: Further Computational and Constructive …, 2003 - Springer
