Abstract

A pair of orthogonal latin cubes of order qq is equivalent to an MDS code with distance 33 or to an OA1(3,5,q){\rm OA}_1(3,5,q) orthogonal array. We construct pairs of orthogonal latin cubes for a sequence of previously unknown orders qi=16(18i1)+4q_i=16(18i-1)+4 and qi=16(18i+5)+4q'_i=16(18i+5)+4. The minimal new obtained parameters of orthogonal arrays are OA1(3,5,84){\rm OA}_1(3,5,84). Keywords: latin square, latin cube, MOLS, MDS code, block design, Steiner system, orthogonal array
