    The author proves an identity similar to Okada's deformation of Weyl's denominator formula as a sum over alternating-sign matrices. In this case, we let \({\mathcal B}_n'\) be the set of \((2n+1)\times 2n\) matrices of \(0\)s, \(1\)s, and \(-1\)s that are invariant under \(180^\circ\) rotation, each column is sign-alternating with sum \(1\), each row other than the \((n+1)\)st is sign-alternating with sum \(1\), and the \((n+1)\)st row is sign-alternating with sum \(0\). He proves a formula for \[ \prod_{1\leq i\leq n}(1+tx_i)\prod_{1\leq i<j\leq n}(1+ tx_ix_j)(1+ tx_i/x_j) \] as a sum over \({\mathcal B}_n'\).
