12.7.1 Composed Magic Squares, Overlapping Sub Squares

Previous section described a classical Magic Square of order 13, with miscellaneous each other – asymmetrically - Overlapping Sub Squares.

An alternative example of an order 13 Composed Magic Square with each other Overlapping Sub Squares is provided below:

162	160	16	2	113	109	33	116	71	119	101	63	40

The Magic Square shown above is composed out of:

• Two 6^th order Partly Compact Associated Magic Corner Squares (s6 = 6 * s1 / 13),
• Two 7^th order Overlapping Magic Corner Squares (s7 = 7 * s1 / 13) each composed of:
  - One 4^th order Associated Magic Square (s4 = 4 * s1 / 13)
  - One 3^th order Semi       Magic Square (s3 = 3 * s1 / 13)
  - Two Associated Magic Rectangles order 3 x 4.

Based on this definition a routine can be developed to generate subject Composed Magic Squares (ref. Priem13d).

Attachment 14.10.7 shows miscellaneous order 13 Composed Magic Squares with Overlapping Sub Squares, which could be found with subject routine.

Alternatively order 13 Magic Squares, with two 7^th order Overlapping Sub Squares with identical Magic Sums can be constructed based on suitable selected Latin Sub Squares as illustrated in Section 25.5.

12.7.2 Composed Magic Squares, Square Inlays Order 6 and 7

Associated Magic Squares of order 13 with Square Inlays of order 6 and 7 can be obtained by means of a transformation of order 13 Composed Magic Squares, as illustrated in Section 17.8.1 for order 7 Magic Squares.

The Magic Square shown above is composed out of:

• One 6^th order Partly Compact Associated Magic Corner Square (s6 = 6 * s1 / 13),
• One 7^th order Semi Magic Corner Square (s7 = 7 * s1 / 13) composed of:
  - One 4^th order Associated Magic Square (s4 = 4 * s1 / 13)
  - One 3^th order Simple     Magic Square (s3 = 3 * s1 / 13)
  - Two Associated Magic Rectangles order 3 x 4,
• Two Associated Magic Rectangles order 6 x 7
  each with two Embedded order 3 Semi Magic Squares (s3 = 3 * s1 / 13).

Based on this definition a routine can be developed to generate subject Composed Magic Squares (ref. Priem13c).

Attachment 14.10.5 shows miscellaneous order 13 Composed Magic Square, which could be found with subject routine.

Attachment 14.10.6 shows the resulting order 13 Associated Magic Squares with order 6 and 7 Square Inlays.

It should be noted that the reversed transformation is not necessarily possible because of the bottom-left / top-right Main Diagonal.

12.7.3 Associated Magic Squares
       Associated Center Square Order 7

Associated Magic Squares of order 13 with an Associated Center Square of order 7 can be obtained by means of transformation of order 13 Composed Magic Squares as illustrated in Section 14.7.5 for order 9 Magic Squares.

Attachment 14.10.8 shows the Associated Magic Squares with order 7 Associated Center Squares, corresponding with the Composed Magic Squares as shown in Attachment 14.10.4.

It should be noted that the reversed transformation is not necessarily possible because of the bottom-left / top-right Main Diagonal.

12.7.4 Composed Magic Squares, Associated Border
       Square Inlays Order 5 and 6 (overlapping)

The 13^th order Composed Inlaid Magic Square shown below:

Mc13 = 1105 169 168 167 166 165 164 49 8 9 10 11 12 7 157 24 41 58 127 116 60 150 46 47 118 136 25 156 111 108 77 22 19 89 100 148 50 130 69 26 39 31 34 65 120 123 53 71 96 134 67 129 143 29 113 106 79 20 21 87 140 61 128 35 133 153 28 32 33 66 119 124 52 36 146 138 147 30 154 15 115 104 81 18 23 85 48 125 94 135 107 155 16 117 45 43 73 75 112 151 72 105 62 92 142 17 42 98 70 59 84 40 93 80 139 90 152 141 27 57 44 63 88 101 126 137 86 91 76 78 131 144 83 102 74 38 56 82 51 122 97 132 110 14 145 54 64 103 95 37 149 114 109 68 99 55 13 163 158 159 160 161 162 121 6 5 4 3 2 1

s 426 497 353 594

contains following inlays:

• two each 6^th order Compact Pan Magic Squares - Magic Sums s(1) = 426 and s(4) = 594 - with the center element in common,
• two each 5^th order Simple Magic Squares with Magic Sums s(2) = 497 and s(3) = 353.

The relation between the Magic Sums s(1), s(2), s(3) and s(4) is:

 s(1) = 12 * s1 / 13 - s(4)
 s(2) = 10 * s1 / 13 - s(3)

With s1 = 1105 the Magic Sum of the 13^th order Inlaid Magic Square.

The Associated Border can be described by following linear equations:

a(162) =  - s1 / 13 + a(164) - s(3) + s(4)
a(161) =  - s1 / 13 + a(165) - s(3) + s(4)
a(160) =  - s1 / 13 + a(166) - s(3) + s(4)
a(159) =  - s1 / 13 + a(167) - s(3) + s(4)
a(158) =  - s1 / 13 + a(168) - s(3) + s(4)
a(157) = 18*s1 / 13 - a(163) - 2*a(164) - 2*a(165) - 2*a(166) - 2*a(167) - 2*a(168) - a(169) + 5*s(3) - 5*s(4)
a(144) =    s1      - a(156) - s(3) - s(4)
a(131) =    s1      - a(143) - s(3) - s(4)
a(118) =    s1      - a(130) - s(3) - s(4)
a(105) =    s1      - a(117) - s(3) - s(4)
a( 92) =    s1      - a(104) - s(3) - s(4)
a( 91) = 66*s1 / 13 - 2*a(104) - 2*a(117) - 2*a(130) - 2*a(143) - 2*a(156) + a(157) - a(169) - 5*s(3) - 5*s(4)

Which can be incorporated in an optimised guessing routine MgcSqr13k1.

The Magic Center Squares can be constructed by means of:

• A guessing routine, based on the defining linear equations as deducted in Section 6.09.3, resulting in the two each other overlapping 6^th order Compact Pan Magic Sub Squares (ref. Priem6a).
• A guessing routine, based on the defining linear equations as deducted in Section 3.2.2, resulting in the two 5^th order Simple Magic Sub Squares (ref. Priem5b).

Attachment 14.9.9 shows a few 13^th order Inlaid Magic Squares for the Magic Sums s(1) = 426 , s(2) = 497, s(3) = 353 and s(4) = 594.

Each square shown corresponds with numerous solutions, which can be obtained by variation of the four inlays and the border.

contains following Diamond Inlays:

• one each 6^th order Associated Diamond Inlay with Magic Sum s6 = 510,
• one each 7^th order Associated Diamond Inlay with Magic Sum s7 = 595.

As the order 6 and 7 Diamond Inlays contain only odd numbers, the Associated Inlaid Magic Square is a Lozenge Square.

The method to generate order 13 Associated Lozenge Squares with order 6 and 7 Diamond Inlays has been discussed in Section 18.7.4.

12.7.6 Summary

The obtained results regarding the miscellaneous types of order 13 Magic Squares as deducted and discussed in previous sections are summarised in following table:

Comparable routines as listed above, can be used to generate alternative types of order 13 Magic Squares.
