One can also consider isomorphism classes of those digraphs. %C A121231 Comment Rob Pratt (Rob.Pratt(AT)sas.com), Aug 03 2008: A121294 provides a lower bound on the maximum number of 1's in such a matrix M. There are cases where a higher number is reached; the following 5 X 5 matrix has 11 ones and its square is binary: %C A121231 0 0 1 0 0 %C A121231 0 0 0 0 1 %C A121231 1 1 0 0 1 %C A121231 1 1 0 1 0 %C A121231 1 1 0 1 0. %C A121231 The optimal values seem to match A070214, verified for n<=7. %C A121231 Term (5,1) of n-th power of the 5x5 matrix shown = A001045(n), the Jacobsthal sequence.
