COMMENTS

These invertible matrices are used in formal neural network theory to generate transient-free state transition graphs with using suitable threshold vectors.

EXAMPLE

n=5: matrix =

+3,-1,-1,-1,-1

+1,+3,-1,-1,-1

+1,+1,+3,-1,-1

+1,+1,+1,+3,-1

+1,+1,+1,+1,+3,

with determinant=528=a(5). a(1)=-1 is the only negative term.

MATHEMATICA
