An odd problem: Torsten Sillke, 18. Dec. 1997 Count the number of symmetric 0-1-matrices for a given row-sum-vector bound. Given e = (e1,e2,...,en) = (1,1,...,1) and some vector b = (b1,b2,...,bn) how many symmetric 0-1-matrices A of order n satisfy A * e <= b ? If you look at the table of counts you will notice that almost all values are even. Is there an involution for each vector b showing this? Looking at the table I see that (e,b) is even in all cases. I give that table with all b vector for which the number of matrices is odd (order 6). b vector count 000000 1 000011 5 000112 19 000222 45 001111 43 001113 71 001223 205 002222 315 002233 481 003333 809 011114 275 011123 465 011222 699 011224 911 012234 2381 012333 2967 013334 4443 022224 3801 022233 4749 022244 5681 023344 11809 033334 15705 033444 20643 044444 28217 111111 499 111115 1115 111223 3771 111225 4135 111234 5367 112222 5763 112224 8467 112233 10501 112235 11811 112334 16243 113333 20825 113335 23963 122225 18809 122234 26073 122245 30155 122333 33373 122344 43265 123334 56733 123345 67781 123444 76365 133335 90521 133344 102705 133445 126679 144445 184693 222244 70081 222255 74969 222334 91541 222345 110969 223335 147413 223344 167649 223355 182749 233444 329121 233455 365715 234445 427599 244455 568077 333344 449395 333355 504099 333445 592077 333555 671383 344555 1106673 444444 1146419 444455 1342251 445555 1590753 555555 1914733 In addition we get a new sequence of numbers 1, 2, 4, 10, 24, 68, 198, 656 %I A004251 M1250 %S A004251 1,2,4,11,31,102,342,1213,4361,16016,59348,222117 %N A004251 Graphical partitions with n points. %R A004251 CN 21 684 78. %O A004251 1,2 %A A004251 njas %K A004251 nonn,more
