sam

Sparse antimagic squares

Description

Produces an antimagic square of order m using Gray and MacDougall's method.

Usage

sam(m, u, A=NULL, B=A)

Arguments

m

Order of the magic square (not “n”: the terminology follows Gray and MacDougall)
u

See details section
A,B

Start latin squares, with default NULL meaning to use circulant(m)

Details

In Gray's terminology, sam(m,n) produces a SAM(2m,2u+1,0).

The method is not vectorized.

To test for these properties, use functions such as is.antimagic(), documented under is.magic.Rd.
