An efficient method is presented for evaluating the permanents Pnk of cyclic (0,1) matrices of dimension n and common row and column sum k. A general method is developed for finding recurrence rules for Pnk (k fixed); the recurrence rules are given in semiexplicit form for the range 4≤k≤9. A table of Pnk is included for the range 4≤k≤9, k≤n≤80. The Pnk are calculated in the formwhere the Ttk(n) satisfy recurrence rules given symbolically by the characteristic equations of certain (0, 1) matrices Πrk; the latter turn out to be identical with the r-th permanental compounds of certain simpler matrices Π1k. Finally, formal expressions for Pnk are given which allow one to write down the solution to the generalized Ménage Problem in terms of sums over scalar products of the iterates of a set of unit vectors.

In this paper we define a completely separating system of an n-set, an extension of the concept of a separating system introduced by Renyi [1] for use in certain information theoretic problems. We then consider the problem of finding the cardinality of a minimal completely separating system and show that this, considered as a function of n, is asymptotic to the cardinality of a minimal separating system.
