%N Number of (n+1) X (n+1) -8..8 symmetric matrices with every 2 X 2 subblock having sum zero and one or two 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).

%F Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-3).

%F Empirical g.f.: x*(25 - 17*x - 21*x^2) / ((1 - x)*(1 - x - x^2)). - _Colin Barker_, Jul 18 2018
