A 3 X 3 matrix with given 9 matrix entries can produce A088021(3)=10080 distinct determinants if all positional permutations are performed. The current sequence provides the 5040 positive determinants of a conjectured optimal matrix minimizing its greatest matrix entry.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 27 because the smallest determinant that can be achieved from the matrix entries of A301372 is
det (( 0 1 89)
(87 99 97)
(54 61 20)) = 27,
.
a(5040) = 1039208:
det ((99 54 1)
(20 97 87)
(61 0 89)) = 1039208.
