Abstract
Two Latin squares of order n n are orthogonal if in their superposition, each of the n 2 n2 ordered pairs of symbols occurs exactly once. Colbourn, Zhang and Zhu, in a series of papers, determined the integers r r for which there exist a pair of Latin squares of order n n having exactly r r different ordered pairs in their superposition. Dukes and Howell defined the same problem for Latin squares of different orders n n and n+k n+k. They obtained a non-trivial lower bound for r r and solved the problem for k≥2n3 k≥2n/3. Here for k<2n3 k<2n/3, some constructions are shown to realize many values of r r and for small cases (3≤n≤6) (3≤n≤6), the problem has been solved.
