%N Determinants of the n X n matrices whose (i,j)-elements are lcm(i^2, j^2).

%C The determinants of the n X n matrices whose (i,j)-elements are lcm(i,j) are given in A060238.

%F It appears that a(n) = Product_{k=1..n} MT2(k) * rad(k)^2 * mu(rad(k)), where MT2(k) is the k-th term of the Moebius transform of the sequence of squares, rad(k) is the squarefree kernel of k and mu denotes the Moebius function.
