A strong complete mapping for a group G is a bijection such that the maps and are also bijections. Groups admitting a strong complete mapping are important to the study of orthogonality problems for Latin squares and group sequencings, among other applications. In previous work we showed that a finite 3-group that contains no cyclic subgroup of index 3 is strongly admissible. In this article, we employ a substantially different strategy to show that a finite 2-group that contains no cyclic subgroup of index 4 is strongly admissible.
期刊介绍:
Discrete Mathematics provides a common forum for significant research in many areas of discrete mathematics and combinatorics. Among the fields covered by Discrete Mathematics are graph and hypergraph theory, enumeration, coding theory, block designs, the combinatorics of partially ordered sets, extremal set theory, matroid theory, algebraic combinatorics, discrete geometry, matrices, and discrete probability theory.
Items in the journal include research articles (Contributions or Notes, depending on length) and survey/expository articles (Perspectives). Efforts are made to process the submission of Notes (short articles) quickly. The Perspectives section features expository articles accessible to a broad audience that cast new light or present unifying points of view on well-known or insufficiently-known topics.
