%N Permanent of an n X n square matrix M(n) formed by writing the numbers 1, ..., n^2 successively forward and backward along the rows in zig-zag pattern.

%C M(n) is defined as M[i,j,n] = j + n*(i-1) if i is odd and M[i,j,n] = n*i - j + 1 if i is even.

%C det(M(1)) = 1, det(M(2)) = -5 and det(M(n)) = 0 for n > 2 (proved).

%C The trace of the matrix M(n) is A317614(n).
