Perfect 1-factorisations of $K_{16}$

Combinatorics 2020-04-30 v1

Abstract

We report the results of a computer enumeration that found that there are 3155 perfect 1-factorisations (P1Fs) of the complete graph K16K_{16}. Of these, 89 have a non-trivial automorphism group (correcting an earlier claim of 88 by Meszka and Rosa). We also (i) describe a new invariant which distinguishes between the P1Fs of K16K_{16}, (ii) observe that the new P1Fs produce no atomic Latin squares of order 15 and (iii) record P1Fs for a number of large orders that exceed prime powers by one.
