      The author investigates upper bounds on the permanent of matrices with nonnegative entries. He is interested in upper bounds for matrices with general nonnegative entries. The original motivation for this study was computational. The goal is to conduct an efficient deterministic algorithm that approximates the permanent within a reasonable multiplicative factor. The proof of Theorem 1.3 proceeds along the lines of \textit{L. M. Brégman}'s proof [Sov. Math., Dokl. 14, 945--949 (1973; Zbl 0293.15010)] of the Minc's conjecture.
