Example

For n = 4, few of the possible matrices are [-4,-3,-2,3], [-4,-3,3,-1], [-4,-2,-3,3], [-4,-2,2,0], [-3,4,-1,-1], [-3,4,3,2], [-2,-4,0,2], [-2,-4,3,-3], [-1,4,1,0], [-1,4,3,3], [0,-4,0,4], [0,-4,1,-1], [0,-3,0,3], [1,2,3,0], [1,2,3,1], [1,2,3,2], [1,2,3,3], [1,2,3,4], [1,3,2,-4], [1,3,2,-3], [2,-1,0,1],... There are 268 possibilities.
Here each of the matrices M is defined as M = [a,b;c,d] where a = M[1][1], b = M[1][2], c = M[2][1] and d = M[2][2]. So, a(4) = 268.
