Constructing all magic squares of order three
نویسنده
چکیده
A magic square of order n is an n by n matrix with distinct nonnegative integer entries such that every row sum, column sum, and (two) diagonal sums equals to the same number m, the magic number. Adding 1 to every entry will give us a traditional magic square of positive integers. A magic square is pure if the entries are the consecutive numbers from 0 to n − 1, and hence it has magic number 3 ( n+1 3 )

Bordered magic squares: Elements for a comprehensive approach
General methods for the construction of magic squares of any order have been searched for centuries. Several " standard strategies " have been found for this purpose, such as the " knight movement " , or the construction of bordered magic squares, which played an important role in the development of general methods. What we try to do here is to give a general and comprehensive approach to the c...
متن کاملConstructing Constrained-Version of Magic Squares Using Selection Hyper-heuristics
A square matrix of distinct numbers in which every row, column and both diagonals has the same total is referred to as a magic square. Constructing a magic square of a given order is considered as a difficult computational problem, particularly when additional constraints are imposed. Hyper-heuristics are emerging high level search methodologies that explore the space of heuristics for solving ...
متن کاملMultimagic Squares
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 that n-multimagic squares do not exist for certain orders. Introduction Magic squares have been studied over 4000 years. Recently some exciting new results hav...
متن کاملPolyhedral Cones of Magic Cubes and Squares
Using computational algebraic geometry techniques and Hilbert bases of polyhedral cones we derive explicit formulas and generating functions for the number of magic squares and magic cubes. Magic cubes and squares are very popular combinatorial objects (see [2, 15, 17] and their references). A magic square is a square matrix whose entries are nonnegative integers and whose row sums, column sums...
متن کاملJ an 2 00 5 The Number of “ Magic ” Squares , Cubes , and Hypercubes 1
Magic squares have turned up throughout history, some in a mathematical context, others in philosophical or religious contexts. According to legend, the first magic square was discovered in China by an unknown mathematician sometime before the first century A.D. It was a magic square of order three thought to have appeared on the back of a turtle emerging from a river. Other magic squares surfa...
