%N Number of (n+1) X (n+1) -4..4 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="/A211492/b211492.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..210</a>

%F Empirical: a(n) = 3*a(n-1) + 5*a(n-2) - 20*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + 45*a(n-5) - 5*a(n-6) - 40*a(n-7) + 6*a(n-8) + 12*a(n-9).

%F Empirical g.f.: x*(29 - 22*x - 201*x^2 + 125*x^3 + 482*x^4 - 225*x^5 - 480*x^6 + 144*x^7 + 176*x^8) / ((1 - x)*(1 + x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - x - x^2)*(1 - 2*x^2)*(1 - 3*x^2)). - _Colin Barker_, Jul 18 2018
