function a = line_loop_adj ( n )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% LINE_LOOP_ADJ returns the line loop adjacency matrix.
%
%  Example:
%
%    N = 5
%
%    1  1  0  0  0
%    1  1  1  0  0
%    0  1  1  1  0
%    0  0  1  1  1
%    0  0  0  1  1
%
%  Properties:
%
%    A is symmetric: A' = A.
%
%    Because A is symmetric, it is normal.
%
%    Because A is normal, it is diagonalizable.
%
%    A is tridiagonal.
%
%    Because A is tridiagonal, it has property A (bipartite).
%
%    A is banded, with bandwidth 3.
%
%    A is an adjacency matrix for a set of points arranged in a line.
%
%    A is a zero/one matrix.
%
%    The row and column sums are all 3, except for the first and last
%    rows and columns which have a sum of 2.
