Integer Sequences to Represent Natural
Numbers in Magic Squares
It's my delight to share
with you my discovery that magic squares can be generated from
solutions to n-queens problem (see also EightQueens.htm).
Following are the two integer sequences that represent the only unique
solution out of possible two distinct solutions for 4-queens problem.
The 4x4 magic square is easily generated from the solutions to the
4-queens
problem. If you see an error in this list, please let me know. Paul
