Semi-magic Squares and Elliptic Curves
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that, for all odd natural numbers N , the N-torsion points on an elliptic curve may be placed in an N × N grid such that the sum of each column and each row is the point at infinity.

Properties of Magic Squares of Squares
A problem due to Martin LaBar is to find a 3x3 magic square with 9 distinct perfect square entries or prove that such a magic square cannot exist (LaBar [1]). This problem has been tied to various domains including arithmetic progressions, rational right triangles, and elliptic curves (Robertson [2]). However, there are some interesting properties that can be derived without ever leaving the do...

متن کاملCreating Semi-Magic, Magic and Extra Magic n× n Squares when n is Odd
We define a simple algorithm for creating large numbers of semi-magic n× n squares when n is odd. Special cases of the algorithm can also be used to easily create magic and extra magic (or panmagic) n× n squares when n is odd. The algorithm can also create extremely magic n × n squares when n ≥ 5 is prime. These extremely magic n × n squares have n! standard magic n-element subsets, and these n...
متن کاملComplete characterization of the Mordell-Weil group of some families of elliptic curves
The Mordell-Weil theorem states that the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over the rational numbers is a finitely generated abelian group. In our previous paper, H. Daghigh, and S. Didari, On the elliptic curves of the form $ y^2=x^3-3px$, Bull. Iranian Math. Soc. 40 (2014), no. 5, 1119--1133., using Selmer groups, we have shown that for a prime $p...
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...
