| Abstract | Permanents and determinants are special cases of immanants. The latter are polynomial matrix functions defined in terms of the characters of the symmetric groups and corresponding to Young diagrams. Valiant has proved that the evaluation of permanents is a complete problem in both the Turing machine model (#P-completeness) as well as in his algebraic model (VNP-completeness). We show that the evaluation of immanants corresponding to hook diagrams or rectangular diagrams of poynomially growing width is both #P-complete and VNP-complete. |
