skew Hadamard matrix

A Hadamard matrix $H$ is skew Hadamard if $H+H^{T}=2I$ .

A collection of skew Hadamard matrices, including at least one example of every order $n\leq 100$ and also including every equivalence class of order $\leq 28$ , is available http://www.rangevoting.org/SkewHad.htmlat this web page. It has been conjectured that one exists for every positive order divisible by 4.

Reid and Brown in 1972 showed that there exists a “doubly regular tournament of order n” if and only if there exists a skew Hadamard matrix of order n+1.
