COMMENTS

Diagonal Latin squares are a special case of Latin squares, so a(n) <= A309344(n).
a(10) >= 442, a(11) >= 5081, a(12) >= 23113, a(13) >= 75891. - Eduard I. Vatutin, Oct 29 2021, updated May 14 2023
For all spectra of even orders all known values included in them are divisible by 2. For all spectra of orders n=6, n=10 and n=14 (and probably for all n=4k+2) all known values included in the corresponding spectra are divisible by 4. This leads to the following hypothesis: a(2k) <= (A287644(2k) - A287645(2k) + 2)/2 and a(4k+2) <= (A287644(4k+2) - A287645(4k+2) + 4)/4, where w(n) = A287644(n) - A287645(n) + 1 is a width of corresponding spectra and (w(n)+1)/2 is done to round the result of the division up. - Eduard I. Vatutin, Mar 21 2022

EXAMPLE
|
For n=7 the number of transversals that a diagonal Latin square of order 7 may have is 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 41, 43, 45, 47, 55, or 133. Since there are 32 distinct values, a(7)=32.
