A Conway-Norton-Ryba Theorem
In a book to be published Sept. 5 by Princeton University Press,
John Conway, Simon Norton, and Alex Ryba present the following
result on order-four magic squares —
A monograph published in 1976, “Diamond Theory,” deals with
more general 4×4 squares containing entries from the Galois fields
GF(2), GF(4), or GF(16). These squares have remarkable, if not
“magic,” symmetry properties. See excerpts in a 1977 article.
See also Magic Square and Diamond Theorem in this journal.
