%N Number of main classes of Brown's diagonal Latin squares of order 2n.
%C A Brown's diagonal Latin square is a horizontally symmetric row-inverse or vertically symmetric column-inverse diagonal Latin square. Diagonal Latin squares of this type have interesting properties, for example, a large number of transversals.
%C Plain symmetry diagonal Latin squares do not exist for odd orders, so a(2n+1)=0.
