Popis: For all n > k ≥ 1 , we give formulas for the nullity N ( n , k ) of the n × n skew-symmetric Toeplitz band matrix whose first k superdiagonals have all entries 1 and whose remaining superdiagonals have all entries 0. This is accomplished by counting the number of cycles in certain directed graphs. As an application, for each fixed integer z ≥ 0 and large fixed k, we give an asymptotic formula for the percentage of n > k satisfying N ( n , k ) = z . For the purpose of rapid computation, an algorithm is devised that quickly computes N ( n , k ) even for extremely large values of n and k.
