Abstract

We give an algorithm to obtain formulae and values for minors of Hadamard matrices. One step in our algorithm allows the (n – j) x (n – j) minors of an Hadamard matrix to be given in terms of the minors of a 2j-1 x 2j-1 matrix. In particular we illustrate our algorithm by finding explicitly all the (n – 4) x (n – 4) minors of an Hadamard matrix.
