โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we address the problem of computing the permanent of (0,1)-circulant matrices. We investigate structural properties of circulant matrices, showing that (i) if they are dense enough, then they contain large arbitrary submatrices, and (ii) if they are very sparse, then they are not too ``far'' from convertible matrices. Building upon (ii), we then develop an ecient algorithm, which allows us to compute permanents of very sparse circulants of size up to 200.

Starting from known results about the number of possible values for the permanents of (0, 1)-circulant matrices with three nonzero entries per row, and whose dimension n is prime, we prove corresponding results for n power of a prime, n product of two distinct primes, and n = 2 โข 3 h . Supported by
