Laffey, Thomas J. Van der Waerden’s conjecture on permanents and its resolution. (English) Zbl 0531.15004 Ir. Math. Soc. Newsl. 9, 28-40 (1983). The paper is an exposition of Egorychev’s resolution of the van der Waerden conjecture for permanents of the \(n\times n\) doubly stochastic matrices. Some discussion is also given concerning results related to the van der Waerden problem.
