A098926 Permanent of the (0,1)-matrix with ij-th entry equal to zero iff (i=1,j=1),(i=1,j=2),(i=1,j=3),(i=2,j=3),(i=3,j=3),... In other words, the ij-th entry of the matrix is zero iff it is on the path which start from the entry (i=1,j=1) and moves in the matrix alternating 3 steps to the right to 3 steps down. 1

Conjecture: a(n) ~ exp(-2) * n!, based on the recurrence by Manuel Kauers and Christoph Koutschan. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 02 2023
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 12 because 12 is the permanent of the following 5 X 5 matrix:
[0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0]
[1 1 1 1 0]
[1 1 1 1 0]
PROG
(PARI) a(n)={my(M=matrix(n, n, i, j, j-i<>1 && (i%2==0 || abs(j-i-1)<>1))); matpermanent(M)} \\ Andrew Howroyd, Nov 05 2019
