%C A266237 Chebrakov (2008) defines M-transformations of a magic square to be simultaneous permutations of its rows/columns that preserve the content of each diagonal (i.e., M-transformations can only shuffle the diagonal elements). The number of M-transformations of a magic square of order n equals A000165(floor(n/2)) = 2*A002866(floor(n/2)). Half of the M-transformations can be obtained from the other half by rotations by 180 degrees (or by reflections about a diagonal).
%C A266237 Obviously, there is no magic square for n=2, although the MATLAB command magic(n) returns a non-magic square with determinant -10. - _Altug Alkan_, Dec 25 2015
