Mathematica

f[i_, j_] := Max[3 i - j, 3 j - i];
m[n_] := Table[f[i, j], {i, 1, n}, {j, 1, n}]
TableForm[m[8]] (* 8x8 principal submatrix *)
Flatten[Table[f[i, n + 1 - i],
  {n, 1, 12}, {i, 1, n}]]  (* A204237 *)
Table[Det[m[n]], {n, 1, 22}]  (* A204238 *)
Permanent[m_] :=
  With[{a = Array[x, Length[m]]},
   Coefficient[Times @@ (m.a), Times @@ a]];
