Abstract

Applying finite-differences to a generating function produces formulas for the permanent of a matrix. We present a setting of the finite-difference parameters for which the permanent formula has many zero-valued terms when applied to 0–1 matrices. We outline a method to reduce computation by eliminating sets of zero-valued terms and show that the method significantly increases the computation speed.
