linalg(deprecated)

 permanent
 compute the permanent of a matrix

 Calling Sequence permanent(A)

Parameters

 A - square matrix

Description

 • Important: The linalg package has been deprecated. Use the superseding command LinearAlgebra[Permanent], instead.
 - For information on migrating linalg code to the new packages, see examples/LinearAlgebraMigration.
 • The permanent of a matrix is computed in a way similar to the determinant. The permanent of an arbitrary 2x2 matrix, $\left[\begin{array}{cc}a& b\\ c& d\end{array}\right]$, is $\mathrm{ad}+\mathrm{bc}$. To compute the permanent of larger matrices, minor expansion is used in the same manner as when computing determinants, only without alternating sign while expanding along a row or column.
 • The command with(linalg,permanent) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
