%N Least number k such that the determinant of the circulant matrix formed by its decimal digits is equal to n.
%C Here only the least numbers are listed: e.g., a(75) = 1031, even if 10002110 also produces 75.
%C The sequence is infinite because any number of the form (91*10^n - 10) / 90 for n > 0 (A267623 or A283508) has the determinant of the circulant matrix equal to n but, in general, it is not the least possible term. - _Giovanni Resta_, Mar 06 2019
