Abstract
Let be an Abelian group of order and MS be an array whose entries are all elements of . Then MS is a -magic square if all row, column, main and backward main diagonal sums are equal to the same element . We prove that for every Abelian group of order , , there exists a magic square MS where the square entries are elements of .
