On the reconstruction of $n$-quasigroups of order $4$ and upper bounds on their number

Abstract

(This is a reprint of the thesis published in the Transactions of the Conference Devoted to the 90th Anniversary Of Alexei A. Lyapunov, Novosibirsk, October 8-12, 2001, pages 323-327). The number of ways for partial $n$-quasigroups of order $4$ to be extended to $n$-quasigroups is investigated. Upper bounds on the number of $n$-quasigroups of order $4$ are obtained. The asymptotic $3^{n+1}{2}^{2^n+1}$ of that number is established.
