Bishops Problem

Find the maximum number of bishops which can be placed on an Chessboard such that no two attack eachother. The answer is (Dudeney 1970, Madachy 1979), giving the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, ... (the EvenNumbers) for , 3, .... One maximal solution for is illustrated above. The number of distinctmaximal arrangements of bishops for , 2, ... are 1, 4, 26, 260, 3368, ... (Sloane's A002465). The number ofrotationally and reflectively distinct solutions on an board for is


(Dudeney 1970, p. 96; Madachy 1979, p. 45; Pickover 1995). An equivalent formula is


where is the Floor Function,giving the sequence for , 2, ... as 1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 20, 36, ... (Sloane's A005418).
