Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We investigate symmetric (0, 1) matrices on which the permanent is convertible to the determinant by assigning ± signs to their entries. In particular, we obtain several quantitative bounds for the number of nonzero elements of such matrices, including the analog of Gibson's theorem for symmetric matrices.
