Comments

A k-packed matrix of size n X n is a matrix with entries in the alphabet A_k = {0,1, ..., k} such that each row and each column contains at least one nonzero entry.

Formula

Cheballah et al. give an explicit formula.

a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} Sum_{j=0..n} (-1)^(i+j) * binomial(n,i) * binomial(n,j) * 3^(i*j). - Andrew Howroyd, Sep 20 2017

Mathematica

p[k_, n_] := Sum[(-1)^(i + j)*Binomial[n, i]*Binomial[n, j]*(k + 1)^(i*j), {i, 0, n}, {j, 0, n}];
a[n_] := p[2, n];
