Abstract

Let pn be the maximal sum of the entries of A2, where A is a square matrix of size n, consisting of the numbers 1, 2, . . ., n2, each appearing exactly once. We prove that pn = Θ(n7). More precisely, we show that n(240n6 + 28n5 + 364n4 + 210n2 − 28n + 26 − 105((−1)n + 1))/840 ≤ pn ≤ n3(n2 + 1)(7n2 + 5)/24.
