A recent conjecture of Caputo, Carlen, Lieb, and Loss, and, independently, of the author, states that the maximum of the permanent of a matrix whose rows are unit vectors in l_p is attained either for the identity matrix I or for a constant…

We formulate conjectures regarding the maximum value and maximizing matrices of the permanent and of diagonal products on the set of stochastic matrices with bounded rank. We formulate equivalent conjectures on upper bounds for these…

The permanent of a multidimensional matrix is the sum of products of entries over all diagonals. By Minc's conjecture, there exists a reachable upper bound on the permanent of 2-dimensional (0,1)-matrices. In this paper we obtain some…

This paper is motivated by basic complexity and probability questions about permanents of random matrices over finite fields, and in particular, about properties separating the permanent and the determinant. Fix $q = p^m$ some power of an…

We review and update on a few conjectures concerning matrix permanent that are easily stated, understood, and accessible to general math audience. They are: Soules permanent-on-top conjecture${}^\dagger$, Lieb permanent dominance…

Let $\mathscr{U}(n,\tau)$ be the set of all {\rm(0,1)}-matrices of order $n$ with exactly $\tau$ 0's. Brualdi et al. investigated the maximum permanents of all matrices in $\mathscr{U}(n,\tau)$(R.A. Brualdi, J.L. Goldwasser, T.S. Michael,…

We present a finite-order system of recurrence relations for a permanent of circulant matrices containing a band of k any-value diagonals on top of a uniform matrix (for k = 1, 2, and 3) as well as the method for deriving such recurrence…

In this article, we study permanental varieties, i.e. varieties defined by the vanishing of permanents of fixed size of a generic matrix. Permanents and their varieties play an important, and sometimes poorly understood, role in…

We characterize ratios of permanents of (generalized) submatrices which are bounded on the set of all totally positive matrices. This provides a permanental analog of results of Fallat, Gekhtman, and Johnson [{\em Adv.\ Appl.\ Math.} {\bf…

In this paper we give the absolutely new proof of a conjecture of R.F.Scott(1881) on the permanent of a Cauchy matrix $\ls \frac{1}{x_i-y_j} \rs_{1 \leqslant i,j \leqslant n},$ where $x_1, ..., x_n$ and $y_1, ..., y_n$ are the distinct…

Let $M_{n}$ denote a random symmetric $n\times n$ matrix, whose entries on and above the diagonal are i.i.d. Rademacher random variables (taking values $\pm 1$ with probability $1/2$ each). Resolving a conjecture of Vu, we prove that the…

The permanent-on-top conjecture states that the largest eigenvalue of the Schur power matrix of a positive semi-definite Hermitian matrix H is per(H). A counterexample has been found with the help of computers, but here, I present another…

In this paper we provide an identity between determinant and generalized matrix function. Also, a criterion of positive semi-definite matrices affirming the permanent dominant conjecture is given. As a consequence, infinitely many infinite…

It is well-known that the evaluation of the permanent of an arbitrary $(-1,1)$-matrix is a formidable problem. Ryser's formula is one of the fastest known general algorithms for computing permanents. In this paper, Ryser's formula has been…

Expressions involving the product of the permanent with the (n-1)th power of the determinant of a matrix of indeterminates, and of (0,1)-matrices, are shown to be related to two conjectures that extend the Alon-Tarsi Latin square conjecture…

We investigate continuous parameter dependence for solutions of general boundary value problems for ordinary linear differential systems. The generalization of Kiguradze's theorem (1987) on correctness of such problems was obtained. Also…

This paper defines the Iris function and provides two formulations of the matrix permanent. The first formulation, valid for arbitrary complex matrices, expresses the permanent of a complex matrix as a contour integral of a second order…

We prove a logical implication between two old conjectures stated by Bapat and Sunder about the permanent of positive semidefinite matrices. Although Drury has recently disproved both conjectures, this logical implication yields a…

In this paper we discuss minimal primes over permanental ideals of generic matrices. We give a complete list of the minimal primes over ideals of 3 x 3 permanents of a generic matrix, and show that there are monomials in the ideal of…
