%N Number of self-inverse 2 X 2 matrices with all terms in {-n,...,0,...,n}.

%e The 14 matrices counted by a(1) are as follows:

%e ...

%e 1 0...-1 0...-1 -1...-1 0...-1 0...-1 0...-1 1

%e 0 1... 0 -1...0 1...-1 1....0 1 ...1 1... 0 1

%e ...

%e 0 -1...0 1...1 -1... 1 0....1 0....1 0....1 1

%e -1 0...1 0...0 -1...-1 -1...0 -1...1 -1...0 1

%t t[n_] := t[n] = Flatten[Table[w^2 + x*y - 1, {w, -n, n}, {x, -n, n}, {y, -n, n}]]

%t c[n_] := Count[t[n], 0]

%t t = Table[c[n], {n, 0, 20}] (* A211415 *)

%t t + 2 (* A211416 *)

%t (t + 2)/2 (* integers *)

%t t/4 (* integers *)

%t (t/4 - 1)/4 (* integers for n>1 *)

%Y Cf. A211415.

%K nonn

%O 0,2
