MINIMUM PERMANENTS OF DOUBLY STOCHASTIC MATRICES WITH k DIAGONAL p×p BLOCK SUBMATRICES

For positive integers $\kappa$ and p$\geq$3, let(equation omitted) where $J_{p}$ is the p${\times}$p matrix whose entries are all 1. Then, we determine the minimum permanents and minimizing matrices over (1) the face of $\Omega$(D) and (2) the face of $\Omega$($D^{*}$), where (equation omitted).
