function a = hankel_n_matrix ( n )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% hankel_n_matrix() returns the HANKEL_N matrix.
%
%  Formula:
%
%    A(I,J) = I+J-1 for I+J-1 <= N + 1
%           = 0     otherwise 
%
%  Example:
%
%    N = 5
%
%    1  2  3  4  5
%    2  3  4  5  0
%    3  4  5  0  0
%    4  5  0  0  0
%    5  0  0  0  0
%
%  Properties:
%
%    A is symmetric: A' = A.
%
%    Because A is symmetric, it is normal.
%
%    Because A is normal, it is diagonalizable.
%
%    A is a Hankel matrix: constant along anti-diagonals.
%
%    determinant ( A ) = (-1)^(N/2) * N^N
%
%    The family of matrices is nested as a function of N.
%
%    A is not diagonally dominant.
