Let $(\Gamma,+)$ be an Abelian group of order $n^2$ and MS$_{\Gamma}(n)$ be an $n\times n$ array whose entries are all elements of $\Gamma$. Then MS$_{\Gamma}(n)$ is a $\Gamma$-magic square if all row, column, main and backward main…
A magic square of order $n$ with all subsquares of possible orders (ASMS$(n)$) is a magic square which contains a general magic square of each order $k\in\{3, 4, \cdots, n-2\}$. Since the conjecture on the existence of an ASMS was proposed…
In this paper we give the first method for constructing n-multimagic squares (and hypercubes) for any n. We give an explicit formula in the case of squares and an effective existence proof in the higher dimensional case. Finally we prove…
The aim of this note is to introduce fastest new general methods for the construction of double and single even order magic squares. As in [5], the method for double even order magic squares is fairly straight-forward but some adjustments…
Permutation matrices play an important role in understand the structure of magic squares. In this work, we use a class of symmetric permutation matrices than can be used to categorize magic squares. Many magic squares with a high degree of…
This paper studies the set of $n\times n$ matrices for which all row and column sums equal zero. By representing these matrices in a lower dimensional space, it is shown that this set is closed under addition and multiplication, and…
A magic rectangle of order $m\times n$ with precisely $r$ filled cells in each row and precisely $s$ filled cells in each column, denoted $MR(m,n;r,s)$, is an arrangement of the numbers from 0 to $mr-1$ in an $m\times n$ array such that…
We give a variety of magic hexagons of Orders from 3 to 7, many of which are extensions of known results. We also give a theorem that their are an infinite number of magic hexagons of Order $n$ for any fixed positive integer $n$ for any…
An associative magic square is a magic square such that the sum of any 2 cells at symmetric positions with respect to the center is constant. The total number of associative magic squares of order 7 is enormous, and thus, it is not…
The aim of this note is to introduce a fast new general method for the construction of double and single even order magic squares. The method for double even order magic squares is fairly straight-forward but some adjustment is necessary…
In this short paper we have produced different kinds of upside down magic squares based on a palindromic day 11.02.2011. In this day appear only the algorisms 0, 1 and 2. Some of the magic squares are bimagic and some are palindromic. Magic…
We demonstrate the existence of $K$-multimagic squares of order $N$ consisting of distinct integers whenever $N>2 K(K+1)$. This improves upon our earlier result in which we only required $N+1$ distinct integers. Additionally, we present a…
A latin square of order $n$ is an $n\times n$ array of $n$ symbols in which each symbol occurs exactly once in each row and column. A transversal of such a square is a set of $n$ entries such that no two entries share the same row, column…
We introduce Magic Gems, a geometric representation of magic squares as three-dimensional polyhedra. By mapping an n times n magic square onto a centered coordinate grid with cell values as vertical displacements, we construct a point cloud…
A curious number is a palindromic number whose base ten representation has the form $a \ldots a b \ldots b a \ldots a$. In this paper, we determine all curious numbers that are perfect squares. Our proof involves reducing the search for…
We consider the notion of a signed magic array, which is an $m \times n$ rectangular array with the same number of filled cells $s$ in each row and the same number of filled cells $t$ in each column, filled with a certain set of numbers…
In this short note we have given an equation based on the date 11.09.2001 and presented some magic squares. The magic squares presented are of order 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 9x9, 16x16 and 25x25. While the magic square of higher order 9x9, 16x16 and…
We find the numbers of $3 \times 3$ magic, semimagic, and magilatin squares, as functions either of the magic sum or of an upper bound on the entries in the square. Our results on magic and semimagic squares differ from previous ones in…
Quantum permutation matrices and quantum magic squares are generalizations of permutation matrices and magic squares, where the entries are no longer numbers but elements from arbitrary (non-commutative) algebras. The famous Birkhoff--von…
For partially ordered sets $X$ we consider the square matrices $M^{X}$ with rows and columns indexed by linear extensions of the partial order on $X$. Each entry $\left( M^{X}\right)_{PQ}$ is a formal variable defined by a pedestal of the…
