In other words, the pattern
  1...1
  .....
  1...1
is forbidden.
From Don Knuth, Aug 13 2014: (Start)
Well, it is well known from A001197 that a(8)<25. A001197 is essentially the same problem, but increased by 1, and without restricting the diagonals. The diagonal restriction is however of little interest, because it's easy to permute rows and columns and get all 0's or all 1's or probably any of the 2^n possible settings of the diagonal. At least, this is true when n=8; hence a(8) in this sequence is 24.
Transposing cols 1<->4 and 5<->8 in the example by Guy 1967 page 130 as cited in A001197 gives a(8)=24:
  01110000
  10010100
  00010011
  01000101
  10100010
  11001000
  00101001
  00001110
But as stated above, I think this is quite trivial, and I believe this sequence should be downplayed. Readers should look at the sequence A001197 --- that's what Zarankiewicz's problem asked for in 1951, namely the min number that forces a rectangle, not the max number that doesn't exclude it. (End)
Conjecture: for n >= 3, a(n) = A072567(n) = A001197(n) - 1 (per above comment). - Max Alekseyev, Jan 29 2022

R. J. Mathar, Mar 09 2022

There are 2^(n^2) binary n X n matrices (entries of {0,1}). There are 2^(n*(n+1)/2) symmetric binary matrices. There are A184948(n,k) symmetric binary n X n matrices with k ones.
This sequence is the triangle T(n,k) of symmetric binary n x n matrices with k ones but no 2 X 2 submatrix with all entries = 1. [So in the display of these matrices there is no rectangle with four 1's at the corners.]
The row lengths minus 1 are 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 17, 21, 24, 29, ... and indicate the maximum number of 1's than can be packed into a symmetric binary n X n matrix without creating an all-1 quadrangle/submatrix of order 2.

			The triangle starts
  1;
  1 1;
  1 2 2 2;
  1 3 6 10 9 9 4;
  1 4 12 28 46 72 80 80 60 16;
  1 5 20 60 140 296 500 780 1005 1085 992 560 170;
  ...
To place 4 ones, one can place 2 of them in C(n,2) ways on the diagonal and the other 2 in n*(n-1)/2 ways outside the diagonal, avoiding one matrix that builds an all-1 submatrix, which are C(n,2)*(n*(n-1)/2-1) matrices. One can place all 4 on the diagonal in C(n,4) ways. One can place 2 outside the diagonal (the other 2 mirror symmetrically) in C(n*(n-1)/2,2) ways. Sum of the 3 terms is T(n,4) = C(n,3)*(5*n+3)/2. - _R. J. Mathar_, Mar 10 2022

G.f.: F(x,y) = Sum_{n,k} T(n,k)*x^n/n!*y^k = exp( Sum_G x^n(G) * y^u(G) / |Aut(G)| ), where G runs over the connected squarefree graphs with loops, n(G) is the number of nodes in G, u(G) the number of ones in the adjacency matrix of G, and Aut(G) is the automorphism group of G. It follows that F(x,y) = exp(x) * (1 + x*y + x^2*y^2 + (2/3*x^3 + x^2)*y^3 + (5/12*x^4 + 3/2*x^3)*y^4 + (13/60*x^5 + 3/2*x^4 + 3/2*x^3)*y^5 + (19/180*x^6 + 7/6*x^5 + 8/3*x^4 + 2/3*x^3)*y^6 + (29/630*x^7 + 3/4*x^6 + 19/6*x^5 + 10/3*x^4)*y^7 + O(y^8)), implying the above formulas for T(n,k). - Max Alekseyev, Apr 02 2022
