Abstract
Let P be an nÃn partial Latin square every non-empty cell of which lies in a fixed row r, a fixed column c or contains a fixed symbol s. Assume further that s is the symbol of cell (r,c) in P. We prove that P is completable to a Latin square if nâ¥8 and n is divisible by 4, or nâ¤7 and nâ{3,4,5}. Moreover, we present a polynomial algorithm for the completion of such a partial Latin square.
