14.13.61 Simple Magic Squares (15 x 15)

Prime Number Simple Magic Squares of order 15 can be constructed with the Generator Principle, as applied in previous sections.

Suitable Generators (15 Magic Series) can be constructed semi-automatically (ref. CnstrGen15).

A possible Simple Magic Square - constructed with the generator method - is shown below, for the smallest consecutive prime numbers {131 ... 1619} for which an Order 15 Simple Magic Square exists (Mc15 = 12669):

The Simple Magic Square shown above is essential different from a comparable Magic Square as previously published by Natalia Makarova (ref. A073520).

The Generator Method has been applied for miscellaneous Magic Sums, for which the first occurring Simple Magic Squares are shown in Attachment 14.13.61.

Each Simple Magic Square shown corresponds with 322560 transformations, as described below:

  • Any line n can be interchanged with line (16 - n). The possible number of transformations is 27 = 128.
    It should be noted that for each square the 180o rotated aspect is included in this collection.

  • Any permutation can be applied to the lines 1, 2, ... 7, provided that the same permutation is applied to the lines 15, 14, ... 9. The possible number of transformations is 7! = 5040.

The resulting number of transformations, excluding the 180o rotated aspects, is 128/2 * 5040 = 322560.

14.13.62 Simple Magic Squares (15 x 15)
         Single Square Inlays (Lower Order)

Order 15 Simple Magic Squares with single square inlay(s) of lower order can be constructed with the generator method as discussed in detail in Section 14.13.22 through Section 14.13.26.

Examples of order 3 through 7 square inlays, for the consecutive prime numbers {131 ... 1619} with the related Magic Sum s15 = 12669 are shown in Attachment 14.13.62.

The order 3, 4 and 5 Square Inlays might be moved along the Main Diagonal (top/left to bottom/right) by means of row and column permutations.

The order 6 Concentric Pan Magic Square (Inlay) with Associated Center Square has been discussed in detail in Section 14.4.2.

The square(s) shown correspond with numerous Prime Number Magic Squares with the same Magic Sum and variable values, which can be obtained by selecting other aspects of the inlays and variation of the borders.

Miscellaneous (main) diagonal sets are possible for both square types.

Type 1 (top), each resulting square corresponds with 84 = 4096 solutions, which can be obtained by selecting other aspects of the four inlays.

Type 2 (bottom), each resulting square corresponds with 84 * (3!)4 = 5.308.416 solutions, which can be obtained by selecting other aspects of the four inlays and variation of the border (window).

The order 3 Square Inlays of Type 2 might be moved along the Main Diagonals by means of row and column permutations (1, 2, 3 or 4 positions).

Potential order 3 Simple Magic Square Inlays (unique) for the consecutive prime numbers (131 ... 1619), resulting in numerous valid sets of four, are shown in Attachment 14.13.63.

Miscellaneous (main) diagonal sets are possible for both square types.

Type 1 (top), each resulting square corresponds with 2 * 3843 = 113.246.208 solutions, which can be obtained by selecting other aspects of the four inlays.

The order 4 Square Inlays of Type 2 might be moved along the Main Diagonals by means of row and column permutations (1, 2 or 3 positions).

The nine Square Inlays are selected as follows:

  • One Magic Center Square selected from the Potential Square Inlays shown in Attachment 14.13.63
  • Eight Semi Magic Border Squares (7 Magic Lines) selected from a (comparable) collection of Semi Magic Squares as discussed in Section 14.13.35

and result in a 9th order Magic Square Inlay with Magic Sum s9 = 7677.

The resulting square shown above corresponds with 8 * 127 * 2 * (5!) * (3!)2 = 2,5 1012 solutions, which can be obtained by selecting other aspects of the nine inlays and variation of the (eccentric) border.
