HadamardMatrix

HadamardMatrix[n]

returns an n×n Hadamard matrix.

Details and Options

Each entry H_rs of the Hadamard matrix is by default defined as , where , is the bit in the binary representation of the integer , and .
Rows or columns of the HadamardMatrix are basis sequences of the DiscreteHadamardTransform.
A Hadamard matrix is its own inverse. »
The following options are supported:
Method Automatic specifies the sequency ordering method

WorkingPrecision ∞ the precision with which to compute matrix elements
Possible method settings are: "BitComplement", "Sequency".
