Abstract
In 1975 Stein conjectured that in every n × n array filled with the numbers 1, . . . , n with every number occuring exactly n times, there is a partial transversal of size n−1. In this note we show that this conjecture is false by constructing such arrays without partial transverals of size n − 1/ 42 ln n.
