DERIVED METHODS FROM THOSE OF COCCOZ AND RILLY FOR GENERATING 8x8 BIMAGIC SQUARES
Francis Gaspalou · 2014
This paper is a continuation of my previous papers about the Coccoz’s method (ref. [1]) and the Rilly’s method (ref. [2]) for generating 8x8 bimagic squares. I investigate here among the derived methods from those of Coccoz and Rilly. I had the idea of these methods after reading their publications. I didn’t drive complete enumerations of the sets of squares generated by these other methods – the task is too important - , I just explored the subject and showed examples. But with these derived methods, no doubt it is possible to generate thousands of 8x8 bimagic squares! In annex, I revisit also the Coccoz’s transformation which is a derived method found by Coccoz himself.
