COMMENT

Determinant of the n times n matrix with T(n,n)=0 is equal to 1 for every such matrix. Tested up to n=13.

For elements where row index is greater than column index, every negative number appears to give a positive contribution while every positive number appears to give a negative contribution to the determinant of the matrix. The size of a such contribution appears to be 1 when replacing the number with a zero. [From Mats O. Granvik (mgranvik(AT)abo.fi), Sep 22 2008]
