The permanent functions of tensors

Combinatorics 2018-06-04 v1 Functional Analysis

Abstract

By a tensor we mean a multidimensional array (matrix) or hypermatrix over a number field. This article aims to set an account of the studies on the permanent functions of tensors. We formulate the definitions of 1-permanent, 2-permanent, and kk-permanent of a tensor in terms of hyperplanes, planes and kk-planes of the tensor; we discuss the polytopes of stochastic tensors; at end we present an extension of the generalized matrix function for tensors.
