%N Number of (n+1) X (n+1) -3..3 symmetric matrices with every 2 X 2 subblock having sum zero and one 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="/A211324/b211324.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + 2*a(n-2) - 11*a(n-3) + a(n-4) + 12*a(n-5) - 2*a(n-6) - 4*a(n-7).

%F Empirical g.f.: x*(15 - 16*x - 62*x^2 + 49*x^3 + 82*x^4 - 36*x^5 - 36*x^6) / ((1 - x)*(1 + x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - x - x^2)*(1 - 2*x^2)). - _Colin Barker_, Jul 16 2018
