A deterministic approximation algorithm for computing the permanent of a 0, 1 matrix

We consider the problem of computing the permanent of a n by n matrix. For a class of matrices corresponding to constant degree expanders we construct a deterministic polynomial time approximation algorithm to within a multiplicative factor ( 1 + ∈)[superscript η] for arbitrary∈ > 0. This is an i...
