COMMENT

Used to calculate number of subspaces of Zp^n where Zp is field of integers mod p.

Consider a square matrix A, and call it special if (0) A is an upper triangular matrix, (1) a nonzero column of A has a 1 on the main diagonal, and (2) if a row has a 1 on the main diagonal then this is the only nonzero element in that row.

If the diagonal of a special matrix is given (it can only contain 0's and 1's), many of the fields of A are determined by (0), (1) and (2). The number of fields that can be freely chosen while still satisfying (0), (1) and (2) is a(n), where n is the diagonal, read as a binary number with least significant bit at upper left.

EXAMPLE

20 = 2^4 + 2^2, thus a(20) = (2-0) + (4-1) = 5
