COMMENTS

T(0,0):=1 for combinatorial reasons.

A semi-queen can only move horizontal, vertical and parallel to the main diagonal of the board. Moves parallel to the secondary diagonal are not allowed.

Instead of a board on a torus, you can imagine that the semi-queens can leave a flat board on one side and re-enter the board on the other side.

FORMULA

T(n,0) = 1.

T(n,1) = n^2.

T(n,2) = n^2*(n-1)*(n-2)/2.

T(n,3) = n^2*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n^2-6n+10)/6.

T(2n+1,2n+1) = A006717(n).

T(2n,2n) = 0.
