A Latin square is normalized if in the first row elements come in increasing order. Any diagonal Latin square orthogonal to a given one can be normalized by renaming its elements (which does not break diagonality and orthogonality). - Max Alekseyev, Dec 07 2019

For all orders n>3 there are diagonal Latin squares without orthogonal mates (also known as bachelor squares), so the minimum number of diagonal Latin squares that can be orthogonal to the same diagonal Latin square is zero. For order n=1 the single square is orthogonal to itself. For n=2 and n=3 diagonal Latin squares do not exist (see A274171). For n=6 orthogonal diagonal Latin squares do not exist (see A305571), so a(6)=0. - Eduard I. Vatutin, May 03 2021

a(n) >= A328873(n) - 1. - Eduard I. Vatutin, Mar 29 2021

a(10) >= 10 (Updated). - Eduard I. Vatutin, Apr 27 2018

a(11) >= 32462. - Eduard I. Vatutin from T. Brada, Mar 11 2021

a(12) >= 3855983322. The result belongs to DLS, which has 30192 diagonal transversals. Calculations performed by a volunteer. - Natalia Makarova, Tomáš Brada, Nov 11 2021

a(13) >= 248703. - Natalia Makarova, Tomáš Brada, Apr 29 2021

a(14) >= 307662. - Natalia Makarova, Alex Chernov, Harry White, May 21 2021

a(16) >= 1658880, a(17) >= 2453352, a(18) >= 96, a(19) >= 1383, a(20) >= 995328, a(21) >= 995328, a(22) >= 432000, a(23) >= 525, a(24) >= 345600, a(25) >= 345600, a(26) >= 48, a(27) >= 345600, a(28) >= 663552, a(29) >= 663552, a(30) >= 40320.
