COMMENTS
These determinants a(n) equivalently represent the leading coefficient (coefficient of term with degree 0) of the characteristic polynomials for such matrices, thereby providing a direct measure and lower bound of the uniqueness of these polynomials within this matrix class.
The maximal determinant counted by a(n) is A033431(n) = 2*n^3.
