COMMENTS
Lower bounded by A088672.
Similar to A145675 and A145676.
FORMULA
a(n) <= 2^(n^2), with equality for n<=1.
EXAMPLE
a(2) equals 12 because there are exactly twelve 2 X 2 binary matrices whose determinants equal their permanents; these matrices are:
|0 0| |1 0| |0 1| |1 1| |0 0| |1 0| |0 0| |1 0|
|0 0| |0 0| |0 0| |0 0| |1 0| |1 0| |0 1| |0 1|
.
|0 1| |1 1| |0 0| |1 0|
|0 1| |0 1| |1 1| |1 1|
MATHEMATICA
Sum[KroneckerDelta[Det[Array[Mod[Floor[k/(2^(n*(#1 - 1) + #2 - 1))], 2] &, {n, n}]], Permanent[Array[Mod[Floor[k/(2^(n*(#1 - 1) + #2 - 1))], 2] &, {n, n}]]], {k, 0, (2^(n^2)) - 1}]
