Magic Squares Terminology
Seymour S Block, Santiago A Tavares · 2009
Abstract Antimagic squares A particular case of heterosquares, where the addition of each number on each row, column, and two diagonals gives numbers that form a consecutive sequence of 2(n + 1) integers, where n is the order of the square. Associated magic square A magic square where all pairs of cells diametrically equidistant from the center of the square equal the sum of the first and last terms of the sequence, or n2 + 1 (Heinz [97]). It is also called symmetrical or center-symmetric. Bent column A line that starts at the top middle to right of the square, goes down at an angle of 45◦ until the middle of the left side of the square, then it bends back at an angle of 90◦ until it reaches the bottom of the square. If the lines are bent left, they have the shape of a less than sign () sign results if the lines start top middle to right, then are bent to the right, as shown in Figure 10.31.
