function a = hanowa ( alpha, n )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% HANOWA returns the HANOWA matrix.
%
%  Formula:
%
%    If ( I = J )
%      A(I,J) = ALPHA
%    else if ( I <= N/2 and J = I+N/2 )
%      A(I,J) = -I
%    else if ( N/2 < I and J = I-N/2 )
%      A(I,J) = I-N/2
%    else
%      A(I,J) = 0
%
%  Example:
%
%    ALPHA = 17, N = 6
%
%    17  0  0 -1  0  0
%     0 17  0  0 -2  0
%     0  0 17  0  0 -3
%     1  0  0 17  0  0
%     0  2  0  0 17  0
%     0  0  3  0  0 17
%
%  Properties:
%
%    A is generally not symmetric: A' ~= A.
%
%    A is nonsingular.
%
%    A is antisymmetric: A' = -A.
%
%    Because A is antisymmetric, it is normal.
%
%    Because A is normal, it is diagonalizable.
%
%    A has complex eigenvalues
%
%      LAMBDA(2*I-1) = ALPHA + I * sqrt ( -1 )
%      LAMBDA(2*I)   = ALPHA - I * sqrt ( -1 )

%  Parameters:

%    Input, integer N, the order of A.  N must be even.
