A Hadamard matrix H is an orthogonal square matrix of order m all the entries of which are either + 1 or - 1; i. e.

where H′ denotes the transpose of H and Im is the identity matrix of order m. For such a matrix to exist it is necessary [1] that

It has been conjectured, but not yet proved, that this condition is also sufficient. However, many values of m have been found for which a Hadamard matrix of order m can be constructed. The following is a list of such m (p denotes an odd prime).
