Abstract

For the normalized generalized matrix function $\overline d_{\chi}^{G} (A)$ for $3 \times 3$ positive semi-definite Hermitian matrices $A$, the permanental dominance conjecture $\per A \geq \overline d_{\chi}^{G} (A)$ is known to hold. In this paper, we show that this inequality is not sharp, and give a sharper bound.
