Abstract

In [1], it was shown that for $n\geq 2$ the least number of nonzero entries in an $n\times n$ orthogonal matrix is not direct summable is 4n-4, and zero patterns of the $n\times n$ orthogonal matrices with exactly 4n-4 nonzero entries were determined. In this paper, we construct $n\times n$ orthogonal matrices with exactly 4n-r nonzero entries. furthermore, we determine m${\times}$n sparse row-orthogonal matrices.
