%N Number of n X n symmetric positive definite matrices with 2's on the main diagonal and -1's and 0's elsewhere.

%C Of course the total number of symmetric matrices of this type (not necessarily positive definite) is 2^C(n,2).

%C This gives the number of different values of M + M' where M runs through the matrices counted in A127502.

%e 2 -1 -1

%e -1 2 -1

%e -1 -1 2

%e is the only 3 X 3 matrix of this type which is not positive definite.
