Abstract

Uniform random generation of Latin squares is a classical problem. In this paper we prove that both Latin squares and Sudoku designs are maximum cliques of properly defined graphs. We have developed a simple algorithm for uniform random sampling of Latin squares and Sudoku designs. The corresponding SAS code is available in the supplementary material.
