Logarithmic form of the Brégman-Minc inequality (Theorem 10.2.1): for a $0/1$-matrix $A$ with positive permanent, $\log \operatorname{per} A \le \sum_i \frac{1}{d_i} \log(d_i!)$.
The Brégman-Minc inequality (Theorem 10.2.1): for any $n \times n$ matrix $A$ with $0/1$ entries, $\operatorname{per} A \le \prod_i (d_i!)^{1/d_i}$ where $d_i$ is the $i$-th row sum.
Row sum of a $0/1$-matrix indexed by an arbitrary finite type $V$: the number of $j$ with $A_{ij}=1$.
Instances For
Brégman-Minc inequality for matrices indexed by an arbitrary finite type $V$: $\operatorname{per} A \le \prod_{i \in V} (d_i!)^{1/d_i}$ for $0/1$-matrices $A$.
The number of perfect matchings of a simple graph $G$.
Instances For
Bridge step toward the Kahn-Lovász bound: the squared count of perfect matchings is at most the permanent of the adjacency matrix, i.e. $|\mathcal{M}(G)|^2 \le \operatorname{per}(A_G)$.
The row sum of the adjacency matrix of $G$ at vertex $v$ equals the graph-theoretic degree $\deg_G(v)$.
The Kahn-Lovász inequality (Corollary 10.2.2): the number of perfect matchings of $G$ satisfies $|\mathcal{M}(G)| \le \prod_v (\deg(v)!)^{1/(2\deg(v))}$.
