On the other hand, there exist Hadamard matrices of all orders 2^k which are "extended cyclic" --- that is, with an initial row and column of + except for the diagonal, and the remainder of the matrix cyclic (and indeed symmetric) --- as in Dan's original layout. These are just the Reed-Muller codes. WFL On 7/23/11, Dan Asimov <dasimov@earthlink.net> wrote:
Nice one.
Interestingly, a paper published only this year proves that if an NxN Hadamard matrices is also a circulant -- like Rich's matrix -- then N is 1 or 4.

<< How about recasting as - + + + + - + + + + - + + + + - for "obvious" symmetry? To go from your reverse-quaternion-sign matrix to mine, negate the first column and the last three rows; then swap rows 2 & 4.
Sometimes the brain has a mind of its own.
