Independent permutations, as related to a problem of Moser and a theorem of Pólya
1974
Journal of combinatorial theory. Series A
As a special case of this treatment we obtain Pblya's theorem that this problem can be solved if and only if n is not a multiple of 2 or 3. ...
Independent permutations are also related to the problem of placing n noncapturing superqueens (chess queens with wrap-around capability) on an n x n board. ...
We also relate independent permutations to a problem posed by Moser [4, 51. ...

Transactions of the American Mathematical Society
In this paper is described a diagram technique for zonotopes, or vector sums of line segments, which is analogous to that of Gale diagrams for general polytopes, and central diagrams for centrally symmetric ...
The use of these new zonal diagrams leads to relationships between zonotopes with n zones of dimensions d and n -d, and enables one to enumerate all the combinatorial types of dzonotopes with ntsd+2 zones ...
