A309258 a(n) is the number of distinct absolute values of determinants of order n Latin squares. 7

%I #31 Mar 19 2020 14:51:50

%S 1,1,1,3,6,197,3684,159561

%N a(n) is the number of distinct absolute values of determinants of order n Latin squares.

%C We apply every symbol permutation on the representatives of isotopic classes to generate Latin squares of order n and calculated the determinants. We then obtained the absolute values of the determinants and removed duplicates.

%C These results are based on work supported by the National Science Foundation under grants numbered DMS-1852378 and DMS-1560019.

%C a(9) >= 1747706. - _Hugo Pfoertner_, Nov 20 2019

%e For n = 5, the set of absolute values of determinants is {75, 825, 1200, 1575, 1875, 2325}, so a(5) = 6.
