Review text

A Latin square is ubiquitous for intercalates whenever every entry of the Latin square appears in at least one subsquare of side two. Such ubiquitous Latin squares are shown to exist for all sides except 1, 3, 5, and 7. A basis theorem for 4-cell configurations is established, showing that the number of occurrences of any type of 4-cell configuration depends only upon the side of the square and the number of intercalates (subsquares of side two) contained within it. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0871.00034].
