Euler numbers and permanent of matrices
Motivated by Question 402249 of Zhi-Wei Sun, I consider the permanent of matrices
$$e(n)=\mathrm{per}\left[\operatorname{sgn} \left(\tan\pi\frac{j+k}n \right)\right]_{1\le j,k\le n-1},$$
where $n$ is ...

Tangent numbers, secant numbers and permanent of matrices
Inspired by Question 402572, I consider the permanent of matrices
$$f(n)=\mathrm{per}(A)=\mathrm{per}\left[\operatorname{sgn} \left(\sin\pi\frac{j+2k}{n+1} \right)\right]_{1\le j,k\le n},$$
where $n$ ...

On $\frac{(-1)^{(n-1)/2}}n\mathrm{per}\left[\tan\pi\frac{j+k}n\right]_{1\le j,k\le n-1}$ with $n\in\{3,5,7,\ldots\}$
Recall that the permanent of a matrix $A=[a_{j,k}]_{1\le j,k\le n}$ is given by
$$\mathrm{per}(A)=\sum_{\tau\in S_n}\prod_{j=1}^na_{j,\tau(j)}.$$
Let $n$ be an odd integer greater than one. In 2019 I ...
