EXAMPLE

Contribution from Klaus Brockhaus (klaus-brockhaus(AT)t-online.de), Apr 28 2010: (Start)

a(5) = determinant(A) = 181440 where A is the matrix

[ 0 3 8 15 24]

[ 3 0 5 12 21]

[ 8 5 0 7 16]

[15 12 7 0 9]

[24 21 16 9 0] (End)

MAPLE

(Conjectured to give the same sequence, apart from signs): a:=n->sum((count(Permutation(n*2-1), size=n+1)), j=0..n)/2: seq(a(n), n=1..16); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), May 03 2007

MATHEMATICA

A[i_, j_] := Abs[i^2 - j^2]; a[n_] := Det[Table[A[i, j], {i, n}, {j, n}]]; Table[a[n], {n, 44}] - J. M. Grau Ribas (grau(AT)uniovi.es), Apr 17 2010
