Comments

a(n) is also the permanent of the n X n matrix that has ones on its diagonal, ones on its three superdiagonals (with the exception of a single zero in the (1,4)-entry), ones on its three subdiagonals (with the exception of a single zero in the (4,1)-entry), and is zero elsewhere.

This is row 5 of Kløve's Table 3.
