Source abstract

We prove the Marcus-Minc conjecture: let n be any integer at least 2, and let A be a nonnegative n by n matrix whose row and column sums are all one. Form a new matrix by subtracting A from the n by n matrix of ones and dividing by n minus one. Then the permanent of A is at least the permanent of the new matrix. We also determine all equality cases.
