FORMULA
a(n) = 1/(denominator(permanent(hilbert(n)))*det(hilbert(n))), where hilbert(n) denotes the n-th Hilbert matrix.
MAPLE
with(linalg): seq(1/(denom(permanent(hilbert(n)))*det(hilbert(n))), n=1..16);
MATHEMATICA
Permanent[m_List] := With[{v = Array[x, Length[m]]}, Coefficient[Times @@ (m.v), Times @@ v]]; f[n_] := Block[{i = Table[1/(i + j - 1), {i, n}, {j, n}]}, 1/(Det[i]Denominator[Permanent[i]])]; Table[ f[n], {n, 1, 18}] (* Robert G. Wilson v, Feb 06 2004 *)
