COMMENT

f(g,h) = per(B), the permanent of the (0,1)-matrix B of size g X g+h with b(i,j)=1 if and only if i <= j <= i+h. See A079908 for more information.

For fixed g, f(g,n) is polynomial in n for n >= g-2. See reference.

FORMULA

a(0)=1, a(1)=5, a(n)=n^4 - 2*n^3 + 9*n^2 - 8*n + 6 (n>=2) found by applying theorem 7.2.1 of Brualdi, Ryser: Combinatorial Matrix Theory.
