Abstract :
An approximation algorithm for the permanent of an n×n 0,1-matrix is presented. The algorithm is shown to have worst-case time complexity exp (0(n1/2 log2 n)). Asymptotically, this represents a considerable improvement over the best existing algorithm, which has worst-case time complexity of the form eθ(n)
