Signatura of magic and Latin integer squares: isentropic clans and indexing
The 2010 study of the Shannon entropy of order nine Sudoku and Latin square matrices by Newton and DeSalvo [Proc. Roy. Soc. A 2010] is extended to natural magic and Latin squares up to order nine. We demonstrate that decimal and integer measures of the Singular Value sets, here named SV clans, are a powerful way of comparing different integer squares. Several complete sets of magic and Latin squares are included, including the order eight Franklin subset which is of direct relevance...
