Abstract. Brown provided a structure theorem for a class of perfect ideals of grade 3 with type 2 and λ > 0. We introduced a skew-symmetrizable matrix to describe a structure theorem for complete intersections of grade 4 in a Noetherian local ring. We construct a class of perfect ideals I of grade 3 with type 2 defined by a certain skew-symmetrizable matrix. We present the Hilbert function of the standard k-algebras R/I, where R is the polynomial ring R = k[v 0 , v 1 , . . . , vm] over a field k with indeterminates v i and deg v i = 1.
