Extract

A Hadamard matrix Hn is an n by n matrix H = [hij], i, j = 1, …, n in which every entry hij is + 1 or − 1, such that

It is well known that possible orders are n = 1, 2 and n = 4m. An automorphism α of H is given by a pair P, Q of monomial ± 1 matrices such that

Here P permutes and changes signs of rows, while Q acts similarly on columns.
