Symplectic block-diagonalization of a real symmetric Hamiltonian matrix
Given a $2n\times 2n$ real, symmetric, Hamiltonian matrix $W$ (anticommutes with the symplectic metric), is there an orthogonal, symplectic matrix $R$ such that $R^\top WR$ is block-diagonal?

Finding the solution to b = Ax that minimizes the Hamming weight (everything over the field F_2).
Is there an efficient algorithm for finding the solution $x$ of
$b = Ax$
that minimizes the Hamming weight of $x$, where
$A$ is a nxm-matrix over the field $\mathbb{F}_2$ ("integer matrix modulo 2")...
