Comments

More precisely, number of inequivalent Hadamard matrices of order n if two matrices are considered equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by permuting rows, permuting columns and multiplying rows or columns by -1.

The Hadamard conjecture is that a(n) > 0 for all n >= 0. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 08 2012

From Bernard Schott, Apr 24 2022: (Start)

A brief historical overview based on the article "La conjecture de Hadamard" (see link):

1893 - J. Hadamard proposes his conjecture: a Hadamard matrix of order 4k exists for every positive integer k (see link).

As of 2000, there were five multiples of 4 less than or equal to 1000 for which no Hadamard matrix of that order was known: 428, 668, 716, 764 and 892.

2005 - Hadi Kharaghani and Behruz Tayfeh-Rezaie publish their construction of a Hadamard matrix of order 428 (see link).

2007 - D. Z. Djoković publishes "Hadamard matrices of order 764 exist" and constructs 2 such matrices (see link).

As of today, there remain 12 multiples of 4 less than or equal to 2000 for which no Hadamard matrix of that order is known: 668, 716, 892, 1132, 1244, 1388, 1436, 1676, 1772, 1916, 1948, and 1964. (End)

By private email, Felix A. Pahl informs that a Hadamard matrix of order 1004 was constructed in 2013 (see link Djoković, Golubitsky, Kotsireas); so 1004 is deleted from the last comment. - Bernard Schott, Jan 29 2023
