AN INEQUALITY ON PERMANENTS OF HADAMARD PRODUCTS

  • Published : 2000.08.01

Abstract

Let $A=(a_{ij}\ and\ B=(b_{ij}\ be\ n\times\ n$ complex matrices and let A$\bigcirc$B denote the Hadamard product of A and B, that is $AA\circB=(A_{ij{b_{ij})$.We conjecture a permanental analog of Oppenheim's inequality and verify it for n=2 and 3 as well as for some infinite classes of matrices.
