Abstract:
In this paper, the ranges of the permanent function on the sets of $(0, 1$)- and $(-1, 0, 1)$-matrices are discussed. A lower bound for the first non-realizable value of the permanent on the set of $(-1, 0, 1)$-matrices is obtained, and the bound for the $(0, 1)$-matrices is improved.
Key words and phrases:permanent, $(0, 1$)-matrices, $(-1, 0, 1)$-matrices.
