function a = clement1 ( n )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% CLEMENT1 returns the CLEMENT1 matrix.
%
%  Formula:
%
%    if ( J = I+1 )
%      A(I,J) = sqrt(I*(N-I))
%    else if ( I = J+1 )
%      A(I,J) = sqrt(J*(N-J))
%    else
%      A(I,J) = 0
%
%  Example:
%
%    N = 5
%
%       .    sqrt(4)    .       .       .
%    sqrt(4)    .    sqrt(6)    .       .
%       .    sqrt(6)    .    sqrt(6)    .
%       .       .    sqrt(6)    .    sqrt(4)
%       .       .       .    sqrt(4)    .
%
%  Properties:
%
%    A is tridiagonal.
%
%    A is banded, with bandwidth 3.
%
%    Because A is tridiagonal, it has property A (bipartite).
%
%    A is symmetric: A' = A.
%
%    Because A is symmetric, it is normal.
%
%    Because A is normal, it is diagonalizable.
%
%    A is persymmetric: A(I,J) = A(N+1-J,N+1-I).
%
%    The diagonal of A is zero.
%
%    A is singular if N is odd.
%
%    About 64 percent of the entries of the inverse of A are zero.
%
%    The eigenvalues are plus and minus the numbers
%
%      N-1, N-3, N-5, ..., (1 or 0).
%
%    If N is even,
%
%      det ( A ) = (-1)^(N/2) * (N-1) * (N+1)^(N/2)
%
%    and if N is odd,
%
%      det ( A ) = 0
