Abstract: We construct sequencings for many groups that are a semi-direct product of an odd-order abelian group and a cyclic group of odd prime order. It follows from these constructions that there is a group-based complete Latin square of order $n$ if and only if $nin1,2,4$ or there is a non-abelian group of order $n$.

Review text

Summary: We construct sequencings for many groups that are a semi-direct product of an odd-order abelian group and a cyclic group of odd prime order. It follows from these constructions that there is a group-based complete Latin square of order \(n\) if and only if \(n \in \{ 1,2,4\}\) or there is a non-abelian group of order \(n\).
