Comments

A real matrix M is positive-definite if x M x' > 0 for all nonzero real vectors x. Equivalently, all eigenvalues of M + M' are positive.

M need not be symmetric. For the number of different values of M + M' see A084552.

Example

For n = 2 the three matrices are {{{1, 0}, {0, 1}}, {{1, 0}, {-1, 1}}, {{1, -1}, {0, 1}}}.
