Abstract

The central problem in the present paper is the construction of symmetric and of skew-symmetric ( = skew) matrices C of order v, with diagonal elements 0 and other elements + 1 or — 1, satisfying The following necessary conditions are known: v ≡ 2 (mod 4) and a and b integers, for symmetric matrices C (Belevitch (1, 2), Raghavarao (14)), and v = 2 or v ≡ 0 (mod 4) for skew matrices C.

Keywords:
Mathematics Skew-symmetric matrix Diagonal Skew Zero (linguistics) Combinatorics Order (exchange) Diagonal matrix Zero order Pure mathematics Symmetric matrix Square matrix Geometry First order Applied mathematics Physics Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
