%N Number of doubly symmetric diagonal Latin squares of order 4n.
%C A doubly symmetric square has symmetries in both horizontal and vertical planes.
%C The plane symmetry requires one-to-one correspondence between the values of elements a[i,j] and a[N+1-i,j] in a vertical plane, and between the values of elements a[i,j] and a[i,N+1-j] in a horizontal plane for 1 <= i,j <= N. - _Eduard I. Vatutin_, Alexey D. Belyshev, Oct 09 2017
%C Belyshev (2017) proved that doubly symmetric diagonal Latin squares exist only for orders N == 0 (mod 4).
%C Every doubly symmetric diagonal Latin square also has central symmetry. The converse is not true in general. It follows that a(n) <= A293778(4n). - _Eduard I. Vatutin_, May 03 2021
