Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Costas arrays such that the corresponding permutation is a derangement.

%C Fixed-point free permutations such that each row in the difference table consists of pairwise distinct elements (see example).

%H Scott Rickard, <a href="http://costasarrays.org/">costasarrays.org</a> (information and papers about Costas arrays).

%e The permutation (9, 8, 1, 6, 3, 7, 2, 4, 5) is a derangement and corresponds to a Costas array:

%e 9 8 1 6 3 7 2 4 5 (Permutation: p(1), p(2), p(3), ..., p(n) )

%e -1 -7 5 -3 4 -5 2 1 (step-1 differences: p(2)-p(1), p(3)-p(2), ... )

%e -8 -2 2 1 -1 -3 3 (step-2 differences: p(3)-p(1), p(4)-p(2), ... )

%e -3 -5 6 -4 1 -2 (step-3 differences: p(4)-p(1), p(5)-p(2), ... )

%e -6 -1 1 -2 2 ( etc. )

%e -2 -6 3 -1

%e -7 -4 4

%e -5 -3

%e -4
