A C-matrix is a square matrix of order m + 1 which is 0 on the main diagonal, has ±1 entries elsewhere and satisfies . Thus, if , I + C is an Hadamard matrix of skew type [3; 6] and, if , iI + C is a (symmetric) complex Hadamard matrix [4]. For m > 1, we must have . Such matrices arise from the quadratic character χ in a finite field, when m is an odd prime power, as [χ(aiaj)] suitably bordered, and also from some other constructions, in particular those of skew type Hadamard matrices. (For we must have m = a2 + b2, a, b integers.)
