This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A127502 Number of n X n positive definite matrices with 1's on the main diagonal and -1's and 0's elsewhere.

A real matrix M is positive-definite if x M x' > 0 for all nonzero real vectors x. Equivalently, all eigenvalues of M + M' are positive.
M need not be symmetric. For the number of different values of M + M' see A084552.

Examples

			For n = 2 the three matrices are {{{1, 0}, {0, 1}}, {{1, 0}, {-1, 1}}, {{1, -1}, {0, 1}}}.
