TL;DR: In this paper, a tensoring version of the Freudenthal-Rosenfeld-Tits magic square of D = 3 supergravities was constructed by tensoring conformal supermultiplets.
Abstract: By formulating $ \mathcal{N} $ = 1, 2, 4, 8, D = 3, Yang-Mills with a single Lagrangian and single set of transformation rules, but with fields valued respectively in $ \mathbb{R},\mathbb{C},\mathbb{H},\mathbb{O} $ , it was recently shown that tensoring left and right multiplets yields a Freudenthal-Rosenfeld-Tits magic square of D = 3 supergravities. This was subsequently tied in with the more familiar $ \mathbb{R},\mathbb{C},\mathbb{H},\mathbb{O} $ description of spacetime to give a unified division-algebraic description of extended super Yang-Mills in D = 3, 4, 6, 10. Here, these constructions are brought together resulting in a magic pyramid of supergravities. The base of the pyramid in D = 3 is the known 4 × 4 magic square, while the higher levels are comprised of a 3 × 3 square in D = 4, a 2 × 2 square in D = 6 and Type II supergravity at the apex in D = 10. The corresponding U-duality groups are given by a new algebraic structure, the magic pyramid formula, which may be regarded as being defined over three division algebras, one for spacetime and each of the left/right Yang-Mills multiplets. We also construct a conformal magic pyramid by tensoring conformal supermultiplets in D = 3, 4, 6. The missing entry in D = 10 is suggestive of anexotic theory with G/H duality structure F 4(4)/Sp(3) × Sp(1).

TL;DR: This study presents a range of effective selection hyper-heuristics mixing perturbative low-level heuristics for constructing the constrained version of magic squares, beating the best-known heuristic solution on average.
Abstract: A square matrix of distinct numbers in which every row, column and both diagonals have the same total is referred to as a magic square. Constructing a magic square of a given order is considered 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 a given problem. In this study, we present a range of effective selection hyper-heuristics mixing perturbative low-level heuristics for constructing the constrained version of magic squares. The results show that selection hyper-heuristics, even the non-learning ones deliver an outstanding performance, beating the best-known heuristic solution on average.

TL;DR: This paper proposes two algorithms for embedding and extraction of the watermark into the cover image based on magic square and ridgelet transform techniques that enabled the cover images to have the good invisibility and made them robust to the general image compression attacks such as JPEG, GIF.
Abstract: This paper proposes two algorithms for embedding and extraction of the watermark into the cover image based on magic square and ridgelet transform techniques. Spread-spectrum communication systems use the spread sequences that have good correlation properties. Magic square technique is used as a spread-spectrum technique to spread the watermark. Ridgelet transform is the next-generation wavelets as it is effective through line singularities characteristic. Ridgelet transform generates sparse image representation where the most significant coefficient represents the most energetic direction of an image with straight edges. The experiments indicated that these algorithms enabled the cover images to have the good invisibility and made them robust to the general image compression attacks such as JPEG, GIF.

TL;DR: This paper provides a necessary and sufficient condition for an even regular graph to be 2-factor-E-super magic decomposable and uses Petersen's theorem and magic squares to do so.
Abstract: An H-magic labeling in an H-decomposable graph G is a bijection f:V(G) U E(G) --> {1,2, … ,p+q} such that for every copy H in the decomposition, $\sum\limits_{v\in V(H)} f(v)+\sum\limits_{e\in E(H)} f(e)$ is constant. The function f is said to be H-E-super magic if f(E(G)) = {1,2, … ,q}. In this paper, we study some basic properties of m-factor-E-super magic labelingand we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for an even regular graph to be 2-factor-E-super magic decomposable. For this purpose, we use Petersen's theorem and magic squares.

Abstract: This short tribute to the guru of Enumerative and Algebraic Combinatorics started out when one the authors(DZ) attended the Stanely@70 conference, that took place at the same time as the preliminary stage of the 2014 World Cup. It states a surprising application of an analog of Richard Stanley's famous theorem about the enumeration of magic squares to the enumeration of possible outcomes in a World Cup Group.

TL;DR: In this paper, a solution for 6×6=36 magic square where the numbers in each row, each column, and the forward and backward main diagonals are all add up to the same number is presented.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a solution for 6×6=36 magic square wherein the numbers in each row, each column, and the forward and backward main diagonals are all add up to the same number. Following is a method to complete the magic square having 36 grids including 6 rows and 6 columns: 1. filling numbers in the grids according to an initial drawing and checking constant sum of diagonals; and 2. arranging the remaining numbers in order and switching numbers in vertical symmetry of the rows, and numbers in horizontal symmetry of the columns from outer border in order to achieve the constant sum, and making the constant sum for inner lines.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors dealt with Latin squares, orthogonal Latin squares and mutually orthogonality of Latin squares with finite geometries, and proved that the conjecture was false.
Abstract: The present paper deals with Latin squares, orthogonal Latin squares, mutually Orthogonal Latin squares, close connections between Latin squares and finite geometries. Moreover the great mathematician Leonhard Euler introduced Latin squares in 1783 as a "nouveau espece de carres magiques", a new kind of magic squares. He also defined what he meant by orthogonal Latin squares, which led to a famous conjecture of his that went unsolved for over 100 years. In 1900, G. Tarry proved a particular case of the conjecture. It was shown in 1960 by Bose, Shrikhande, and Parker that, except for this one case, the conjecture was false.

TL;DR: In this article, a generalization of magic squares to finite projective space is studied. But the generalization is restricted to a special case where the sum along any $r$-flat is $0.
Abstract: This paper studies a generalization of magic squares to finite projective space $\mathbb{P}^n(q)$. We classify at all functions from $\mathbb{P}^n(q)$ into a finite field where the sum along any $r$-flat is $0$. In doing so we show connections to elementary number theory and the modular representation theory of $\operatorname{GL}(n,q)$.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on a simple and easy method to construct doubly even magic squares, where the number of rows, columns, and diagonals is the same.
Abstract: Magic squares have been an enthralling topic in mathematics for centuries. They are formed by filling in all the cells of a square matrix with the numbers starting from one so that the sum of all rows, columns, and diagonals is the same. Magic squares have applications in entertainment, music and even cryptography. This paper focuses on a simple and easy method to construct doubly even magic squares.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main effects and at least some of the two-factor interactions are linear-trend-free (their estimates are unaffected if there is a straight line trend over time).
Abstract: An n by n magic square with entries 1 to n2 has all row and column sums equal. If n has k factors, then a factorial design with n2 runs and up to 2k factors can be obtained from this for which the main effects and at least some of the two-factor interactions are linear-trend-free (their estimates are unaffected if there is a straight line trend over time). An unconnected experimental design called a magic Latin square is a Latin square with additional blocking obtained from structured rows and columns. Keywords: factorial experiment; gerechte designs; Graeco-Latin square; Latin square; magic Latin square; trend-free design

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce and study special types of magic squares of order six and present a parallelizable code based on the principles of genetic algorithms, which is called the magic constant.
Abstract: In this paper we introduce and study special types of magic squares of order six. We list some enumerations of these squares. We present a parallelizable code. This code is based on the principles of genetic algorithms. A magic square is a square matrix, where the sum of all entries in each row or column and both main diagonals yields the same number. This number is called the magic constant. A natural magic square of order n is a matrix of size n×n such that its entries consist of all integers from one to square of n. We define a new class of magic squares and present some listing of the counting carried out over two years.
