COMMENTS

A complex matrix M is normal if M^H M = M M^H, where H is conjugate transpose.

Let M be an n X n complex matrix with eigenvalues l_1, ..., l_n. The following are equivalent:

(a) M is normal;

(b) There is a unitary matrix U such that U^H M U is diagonal;

(c) Sum_{i,j = 1..n} |M_{i,j}|^2 = |l_1|^2 + ... + |l_n|^2; and

(d) M has an orthonormal set of n eigenvectors.

If a normal matrix M is split into the symmetric and antisymmetric matrices M=A+S with S=(M+M^H)/2 and A=(M-M^H)/2, M^H the transpose of M, A must be a generalized Tournament matrix. (For Tournament matrices each row and each column sums to zero.) The "generalization" is that zeros (indicating a tie between the players) may occur outside the main matrix diagonal. A is therefore a member of the set of the antisymmetric ternary matrices (elements -1,0,+1) counted in A007081(n), because there is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Tournament matrix onto the labeled edge-oriented Eulerian graphs. - R.

FORMULA

a(n) >= 2^[n*(n+1)/2]=A00625(n+1) because all symmetric binary matrices (which have n*(n+1)/2 independent elements) are normal. a(n) >= 2^n*a(n-1) because symmetric attachment of any binary vector, of which there are 2^n, to a normal matrix of dimension n-1 as a new last row and last column produces a normal matrix with dimension n. - R.
