A084553 Number of n X n symmetric positive semi-definite matrices with 2's on the main diagonal and -1's and 0's elsewhere. 2
1, 2, 8, 45, 338, 3178, 34346, 396659, 4694705 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; text; internal format)

COMMENTS
Of course the total number of symmetric matrices of this type (not necessarily positive definite) is 2^C(n,2).
This gives the number of different values of A + A' where A runs through the matrices counted in A127503.
