%N Number of (n+1) X (n+1) -2..2 symmetric matrices with every 2 X 2 subblock having sum zero and two or three distinct values.

%C Symmetry and 2 X 2 block sums zero implies that the diagonal x(i,i) are equal modulo 2 and x(i,j) = (x(i,i)+x(j,j))/2*(-1)^(i-j).

%H R. H. Hardin, <a href="/A211115/b211115.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 4*a(n-2) - 16*a(n-3) + 27*a(n-4) + 8*a(n-5) - 35*a(n-6) + 10*a(n-7) + 10*a(n-8) - 4*a(n-9).

%F Empirical g.f.: 2*x*(6 - 17*x - 14*x^2 + 66*x^3 - 7*x^4 - 76*x^5 + 29*x^6 + 22*x^7 - 10*x^8) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - x - x^2)*(1 - 2*x^2)*(1 - x - 2*x^2 + x^3)). - _Colin Barker_, Jul 15 2018
