Singular Values & the SVD · Superchallenge problem

Index rows and columns by 0,1,…,60, 1, \ldots, 6 and let AA be the 7×77\times 7 matrix with aij=1a_{ij} = 1 if j−i≡0j - i \equiv 0, 11 or 3(mod7)3 \pmod 7, and aij=0a_{ij} = 0 otherwise. Find the nuclear norm ∥A∥∗=∑σk\|A\|_* = \sum\sigma_k. Give your answer in simplest radical form.
