Comments

An orthogonal diagonal Latin square is a diagonal Latin square with at least one orthogonal diagonal mate. Since all orthogonal diagonal Latin squares are diagonal Latin squares, a(n) <= A344105(n).

a(10) >= 193, a(11) >= 3588, a(12) >= 10465. - updated by Eduard I. Vatutin, Jan 29 2023

Examples

			For n=8 the number of transversals that an orthogonal diagonal Latin square of order 8 may have is 16, 32, 40, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 88, 96, 112, 128, 132, 144, 160, 168, 192, 224, 256, 320, or 384. Since there are 25 distinct values, a(8)=25.
