In this paper, we present the problem of counting magic squares and we focus on the case of multiplicative magic squares of order 4. We give the exact number of normal multiplicative magic squares of order 4 with an original and complete…

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…

This paper aims to address the relation between a magic square of odd order $n$ and a group, and their properties. By the modulo number $n$, we construct entries for each table from initial table of magic square with large number $n^2$.…

Associated to any complex simple Lie algebra is a non-reductive complex Lie algebra which we call the intermediate Lie algebra. We propose that these algebras can be included in both the magic square and the magic triangle to give an…

We propose a simple algorithm for generating Binary Magic Squares (BMS), i.e., square binary matrices where the sum of all rows and all columns are equal. We show by induction that our algorithm always returns valid BMS with optimal…

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…

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 problem of the construction of magic squares occupied many mathematicians of the 17th century. The Polish Jesuit and polymath Adam Adamandy Kocha\'nski studied this subject too, and in 1686 he published a paper in Acta Eruditorum titled…

This paper proposes an elementary solution to a special case of finding all perfect squares that can be written as sum of consecutive integer cubes. It is shown that there are no non-trivial solutions if the perfect square is a prime power,…

In a paper published by this author in www.academia.edu(see reference[3]), it was established that there exist no three positive integers which are consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression; and whose sum of squares is a perfect or…

We find by applying MacMahon's partition analysis that all magic labellings of the cube are of eight types, each generated by six basis elements. A combinatorial proof of this fact is given. The number of magic labellings of the cube is…

Magic-square constraints define Diophantine systems whose solutions, in several natural families, exhibit rigid periodic structure. We study this structure in an oracle setting, where a marked set of integers is given by black-box access…

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…

We search for triangular numbers that are multiples of other triangular numbers. It is found that for any positive non-square integer multiplier, there is an infinity of multiples of triangular numbers that are triangular numbers and…

This is a translation of Leonhard Euler's ``De quadratis magicis'' . It is E795 in the Enestrom index. This paper studies how to construct magic squares with certain numbers of cells, in particular 9, 16, 25 and 36. It considers some…

A proof that there is no $3 \times 3$ magic square constructed with nine distinct square numbers is given.

Let $\Gamma$ be a group of order $n^2$ and $SMS_{\Gamma}(n)=(a_{i,j})_{n\times n}$ be an $n\times n$ array whose entries are all distinct elements of $\Gamma$. If there exists an element $\mu\in\Gamma$ such that for every row $i$, there…

A magic SET square is a 3 by 3 table of SET cards such that each row, column, diagonal, and anti-diagonal is a set. We allow the following transformations of the square: shuffling features, shuffling values within the features, rotations…

General methods for the construction of magic squares of any order have been searched for centuries. There have been several standard strategies for this purpose, such as the knight movement, or the construction of bordered magic squares,…

Graph labeling is a well-known and intensively investigated problem in graph theory. Sparse anti-magic squares are useful in constructing vertex-magic labeling for graphs. For positive integers $n,d$ and $d<n$, an $n\times n$ array $A$…
