Luschny's permanent conjecture for median Genocchi numbers

From papers

Let nn be a positive integer and define the 2n×2n2n\times 2n matrix

M2n:=[2jk12n]1j,k2n.M_{2n}:=\left[\left\lfloor\frac{2j-k-1}{2n}\right\rfloor\right]_{1\le j,k\le 2n}.

The Luschny permanent conjecture.

per(M2n)=(1)nH2n1.\operatorname{per}(M_{2n})=(-1)^nH_{2n-1}.

Here H1,H3,H5,H_1,H_3,H_5,\ldots are the Genocchi numbers of the second kind, or median Genocchi numbers. The conjecture was proposed by P. Luschny and is one of the five permanent conjectures proved in the paper, so it is solved.
