function a = boothroyd ( n )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% BOOTHROYD returns the Boothroyd matrix.
%
%  Formula:
%
%    A(I,J) = C(N+I-1,I-1) * C(N-1,N-J) * N / ( I + J - 1 )
%
%  Example:
%
%    N = 5
%
%     5    10    10     5     1
%    15    40    45    24     5
%    35   105   126    70    15
%    70   224   280   160    35
%   126   420   540   315    70
%
%  Properties:
%
%    A is not symmetric.
%
%    A is positive definite.
%
%    det ( A ) = 1.
%
%    The inverse matrix has the same entries, but with alternating sign.
