Questions on symmetric Hadamard matrices

Definitions: An $n\times n$ Hadamard matrix (HM for short) is a matrix whose entries are either $1$ or $−1$ and whose rows are mutually orthogonal. If $A$ is a symmetric matrix, then $A = A^T$ and if $...

About the Hadamard conjecture

On the wikipedia article about Hadamard Matrix it says that "The smallest order that cannot be constructed by a combination of Sylvester's and Paley's methods is $92$" But it also says that ...

Cardinality of the maximum points of the determinant on matrices with entries in [-1, 1]

By multilinearity, the maximum of the determinant on matrices with entries in the interval [-1, 1] is attained at a {-1, 1}-matrix. By the following example, the maximum is attained at infinitely many ...

The number of 0-1 normal matrices

Let $A\in\{0,1\}^{n\times n}$ be a $n\times n $ matrix with entries in the discrete set $\{0,1\}$. My question: What is the number of matrices in $\{0,1\}^{n\times n}$ that are normal, that is, ...

Number of distinct rows and columns in a matrix with bounded number of entries

How many distinct rows and columns a real square matrix can have (at least in symmetric case) such that rank of matrix is $r$ and entries: are from $\{-b,-b+1,\dots,0,\dots,b-1,b\}$? are from $\{-b,-...

Rank of a combinatorial matrix

For any $2n$ with $n\in\mathbb{N}$, we conjecture the matrix $A\in\mathcal{M}_{3n\times 2n}$ to have rank $\lceil{\frac{5n-1}{3}}\rceil$ where $$A=\left(\begin{array}{cccccc} 0 & & & &...

An analogue of Hermitian matrix - does it exist?

Let $k$ be any field and $R\subseteq M_s(k)$ be a subring of $s\times s$ matrices over $k$. Identify $k$ with the scalar matrices, so that $k\subseteq R$. Let $A\in M_n(R)$ be an $n\times n$ matrix. ...

Submatrix with small sum of elements

Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ matrix, for which I know the size of the sum of all its entries. Now I want to select an $m \times m$-submatrix, whose sum of entries is as small as possible. Is there any ...
