%N a(n) = permanent M_n where M_n is the n X n matrix m(i,j) = i^2 + j^2.

%C From _Zhi-Wei Sun_, Aug 19 2021: (Start)

%C I have proved that a(n) == (-1)^(n-1)*2*n! (mod 2n+1) whenever 2n+1 is prime.

%C Conjecture 1: If 2n+1 is composite, then a(n) == 0 (mod 2n+1).

%C Conjecture 2: If p = 4n+1 is prime, then the sum of those Product_{j=1..2n}(j^2-f(j)^2)^{-1} with f over all the derangements of {1,...,2n} is congruent to 1/(n!)^2 modulo p. (End)
