COMMENTS

0 can be expressed in a(0)*(4!)^2=8290316160 ways as the determinant of a 4 X 4 matrix which has elements 1...16. One such way is e.g. det ((1 2 3 4)(5 6 7 8)(9 10 11 12)(13 14 15 16))=0. All numbers between -38830 and +38830 can be expressed by such a determinant. The first number not expressible is given by A088216(4). The largest expressible number is given by A085000(4)=40800.

EXAMPLE

a(40800)=1 because the only 4X4 matrices with elements 1...16 with the determinant 40800 are the 576 combinations of determinant-preserving row and column permutations of ((16 6 4 9)(8 13 11 1)(3 12 5 14)(7 2 15 10)).
