%N Number of monotonic matrices of order n.

%C A monotonic matrix of order n is an n × N matrix in which every element is either 0 or contains a number from the set {1, 2, ..., n} subject to 3 conditions:

%C the filled-in entries in each row are strictly increasing;

%C the filled-in entries in each column are strictly decreasing;

%C for two filled-in cells with same entry, the one further right is higher (the positive slope condition).

%C See A070214 for more information.
