Let $\Omega_n$ be the polyhedron of $n \times n$ doubly stochastic matrices, that is, nonnegative matrices whose row and column sums are all equal to 1. The permanent of a $n \times n$ matrix $A = [a_{ij}]$ is defined by $$ per(A) = \sum_{\sigma}^ a_{1\sigma(a)} \cdots a_{n\sigma(n)} $$ where $\sigma$ runs over all permutations of ${1, 2, \ldots, n}$.
