A signed magic array, $SMA(m, n;s,t)$, is an $m \times n$ 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 that is symmetric about the…
A signed magic rectangle $SMR(m,n;r, s)$ is an $m \times n$ array with entries from $X$, where $X=\{0,\pm1,\pm2,\ldots, $ $\pm (ms-1)/2\}$ if $mr$ is odd and $X = \{\pm1,\pm2,\ldots,\pm mr/2\}$ if $mr$ is even, such that precisely $r$ cells…
Let $m,n,s,k$ be four integers such that $1\leqslant s \leqslant n$, $1\leqslant k\leqslant m$ and $ms=nk$. A signed magic array $SMA(m,n; s,k)$ is an $m\times n$ partially filled array whose entries belong to the subset $\Omega\subset…
A {\em signed magic rectangle} $SMR(m,n;k, s)$ is an $m \times n$ array with entries from $X$, where $X=\{0,\pm1,\pm2,\ldots, $ $\pm (mk-1)/2\}$ if $mk$ is odd and $X = \{\pm1,\pm2,\ldots,\pm mk/2\}$ if $mk$ is even, such that precisely $k$…
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…
In this paper we introduce a special class of partially filled arrays. A magic partially filled array $\mathrm{MPF}_\Omega(m,n; s,k)$ on a subset $\Omega$ of an abelian group $(\Gamma,+)$ is a partially filled array of size $m\times n$ with…
A k-magic square of order n is an arrangement of the numbers from 0 to kn-1 in an n by n matrix, such that each row and each column has exactly k filled cells, each number occurs exactly once, and the sum of the entries of any row or any…
Let s,t,m,n be positive integers such that sm=tn. Let M(m,s;n,t) be the number of m x n matrices over {0,1,2,...} with each row summing to s and each column summing to t. Equivalently, M(m,s;n,t) counts 2-way contingency tables of order m x…
Magic squares are arrangements of natural numbers into square arrays, where the sum of each row, each column, and both diagonals is the same. In this paper, the concept of a magic square with 3 rows and 3 columns is generalized to define…
A magic labelling of a set system is a labelling of its points by distinct positive integers so that every set of the system has the same sum, the magic sum. Examples are magic squares (the sets are the rows, columns, and diagonals) and…
A magic series is a set of natural numbers that, by virtue of its size, sum, and maximum value, could fill a row of a normal magic square. In this paper, we derive an exact two-dimensional integral representation for the number of magic…
A magic square of order n is an nxn square (matrix) whose entries are distinct nonnegative integers such that the sum of the numbers of any row and column is the same number, the magic constant. In this paper we introduce the concept of…
Magic squares are well-known arrangements of integers with common row, column, and diagonal sums. Various other magic shapes have been proposed, but triangles have been somewhat overlooked. We introduce certain triangular arrangements of…
A signed graph is an ordered pair $\Sigma=(G,\sigma),$ where $G=(V,E)$ is the underlying graph of $\Sigma$ with a signature function $\sigma:E\rightarrow \{1,-1\}$. In this article, we define $n^{th}$ power of a signed graph and discuss…
We define a magic square to be a square matrix whose entries are nonnegative integers and whose rows, columns, and main diagonals sum up to the same number. We prove structural results for the number of such squares as a function of the…
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…
A magic labelling of a graph $G$ with magic sum $s$ is a labelling of the edges of $G$ by nonnegative integers such that for each vertex $v\in V$, the sum of labels of all edges incident to $v$ is equal to the same number $s$. Stanley gave…
A Heffter array $H(m,n;s,t)$ is an $m \times n$ matrix with nonzero entries from $\mathbb{Z}_{2ms+1}$ such that $i)$ each row contains $s$ filled cells and each column contains $t$ filled cells, $ii)$ every row and column sum to 0, and…
Signed graphs are graphs with signed edges. They are commonly used to represent positive and negative relationships in social networks. While balance theory and clusterizable graphs deal with signed graphs to represent social interactions,…
A signed graph is a graph whose edges are signed. In a vertex-signed graph the vertices are signed. The latter is called consistent if the product of signs in every circle is positive. The line graph of a signed graph is naturally…
