%N Lexicographically earliest permutation of [1,2,...,n] maximizing the determinant of an n X n circulant matrix that uses this permutation as first row, written as triangle T(n,k), k <= n.
%C For n <= 9 the corresponding circulant matrices are n X n Latin squares with maximum determinant A309985(n). It is conjectured that this also holds for n > 9. See Mathematics Stack Exchange link.
