COMMENTS

The main antidiagonal is 1, the upper left elements are increasing larger even numbers and the lower right elements are increasing larger odd numbers.

FORMULA

1/12 * [(4n-1)3^n - 3(-1)^n].

EXAMPLE

a(5) = det{ 8 6 4 2 1 / 6 4 2 1 3 / 4 2 1 3 5 / 2 1 3 5 7 / 1 3 5 7 9 } = 285.

MATHEMATICA

f[i_, j_, n_] := Block[{a = 2*(i + j) - 2*n - 1}, If[i + j <= n, a = Abs[a - 1]]; a]; Table[ Abs[ Det[ Table[ f[i, j, n], {i, 1, n}, {j, 1, n}]]], {n, 1, 24}]
