===For pan-diagonal magic squares=== * A pan-diagonal magic square remains a pan-diagonal magic square under cyclic shifting of rows or of columns or both.<ref name="Kraitchik1953" /> This allows us to position a given number in any one of the ''n''<sup>2</sup> cells of an ''n'' order square. Thus, for a given pan-magic square, there are ''n''<sup>2</sup> equivalent pan-magic squares. In the example below, the original square on the left is transformed by shifting the first row to the bottom to obtain a new pan-magic square in the middle. Next, the 1st and 2nd column of the middle pan-magic square is circularly shifted to the right to obtain a new pan-magic square on the right. {{col-begin|width=auto;margin:0.5em auto}} {{col-break|valign=bottom}} {| class="wikitable" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;width:8em;height:8em;table-layout:fixed;" |- | style="background-color: silver;"|10 || style="background-color: silver;"|3 || style="background-color: silver;"|13 || style="background-color: silver;"|8 |- | 5 || 16 || 2 || 11 |- | 4 || 9 || 7 || 14 |- | 15 || 6 || 12 || 1 |} {{col-break|valign=bottom|gap=1em}} {| class="wikitable" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;width:8em;height:8em;table-layout:fixed;" |- | style="background-color: silver;"|5 || style="background-color: silver;"|16 || 2 || 11 |- | style="background-color: silver;"|4 || style="background-color: silver;"|9 || 7 || 14 |- | style="background-color: silver;"|15 || style="background-color: silver;"|6 || 12 || 1 |- | style="background-color: silver;"|10 || style="background-color: silver;"|3 || 13 || 8 |} {{col-break|valign=bottom|gap=1em}} {| class="wikitable" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;width:8em;height:8em;table-layout:fixed;" |- | 2 || 11 || 5 || 16 |- | 7 || 14 || 4 || 9 |- | 12 || 1 || 15 || 6 |- | 13 || 8 || 10 || 3 |} {{col-end}}
