Topic: Strachey method for magic squares


Related Topics

  
  Magic square - The Encyclopedia
In mathematics, a magic square of order n is an arrangement of n² numbers in a square, such that the n numbers in all rows, all columns, and both diagonals sum to the same constant.
The earliest magic square of order four was found inscribed Khajuraho, India, dating from the eleventh or twelfth century; it is also a so-called diabolic or panmagic (pandiagonal magic square) where, in addition to the rows, columns and main diagonals, the broken diagonals also have the same sum.
Odd and doubly even magic squares are easy to generate; the construction of singly even magic squares is more difficult but several methods exist, including the LUX method for magic squares (due to John Conway) and the Strachey method for magic squares.

The magic square figures in Greek writings dating from about 1300 BC and was used by Arabian astrologers in the ninth century when drawing up horoscopes.
Certain other restrictions can be imposed on magical squares, resulting, for example, in bimagic, trimagic and multimagic squares, and there are also other forms displaying similar characteristics, including magic circles, magic polygons, and magic cubes.

Magic squares exist for all orders n ≥ 1 except n = 2, although the case n = 1 is trivial—it consists of a single cell containing the number 1.
Squares that differ trivially by a rotation or a reflection are considered equivalent and are counted just as one.
Paul Muljadi discovered and proved that the n queens problem is related to magic squares because the magic constant of the n queens problem is also the order-n magic constant M(n) for n > 3.

These methods are desk machine evaluation of a finite series, integration of the appropriate differential equation by a Reeves Electronic Analog Computer and by a Litton 40 IBM 704 computer.
A method is described which reduces the number of store and fetch operations, evaluates constant subexpressions during compilation, and recognizes many equivalent subexpressions.
Since the implementation of of new methods and procedures is not instantaneous, but rather occurs by an evolutionary process, we should be concerned also with the problem of maintaining, improving and incorporating new ideas into existing systems.

 Coroutines
The only method by which the "traditional" function call can invoke another "traditional" function/method call is to call it "recursively", thus causing the construction of another stack frame.
Each time the.next() method of a generator-iterator is invoked, the code in the body of the generator-function is executed until a yield or return statement (see below) is encountered, or until the end of the body is reached.
But since the easiest method of adding coroutine control appears to be the more general case of adding continuations to Python, I would think that this also gives a possible method of adding preemptive threads to the Python interpreter in a portable manner by coding it into the virtual machine rather than the real machine.

 Magic squares: single-even order
Magic squares of single-even order (n=6,10,14,...) are known to be difficult to construct.
can be recognized, if you divide the square in its four quadrants.
This time, these quadrants are of odd order, so that it is impossible to fill them in a symmetrical order.

If we open Judith up and find within her a little person who through the magic of electronics causes Judith to move, and the little person tells us it wished to insult Hermione, we will conclude that the homuncular explanation was no pseudoexplanation at all, but a genuine and correct explanation.
In this case, the right context is physics; Judith's interior is a piece of physics, and it is the physical and literal construal of the homuncular explanation of Judith's insult that makes the explanation explanatory.
