Comments

A complete mapping of a cyclic group (Zn,+) is a permutation f(x) of Zn such that f(0)=0 and that f(x)-x is also a permutation.

a(n) is the number of complete mappings fixed under rotation R180 where R180(f)(x)=-f(-x). This sequence (n) equals TSQ_R180(n), the number of solutions of the toroidal n-queen problem fixed under rotation R180. A solution of toroidal-semi n-queen problem is a permutation f(x) of Zn such that f(x)-x is also a permutation.

Example

f(x)=6x in (Z7,+) is a complete mapping of Z7 since f(0)=0 and f(x)-x (=5x) is also a permutation of Z7. R180(f)(x)=-f(-x) (=6x). So f(x) is fixed under R180.
