For a function \(\mu\) from a finite group \(\{g_1, \dots, g_n\}\) into an interval \([a,b]\), and a convex function \(c\), the author proves that the sum of all permanents of \(k\times k\) submatrices of the \(n\times n\) matrix with entries \[ \bigl(\mu (g_ig_j) \bigr)+ t\bigl( \gamma/ n-\mu(g_i g_j)\bigr) \] is decreasing in \(t\in[0,1]\), where \(\gamma\) is the sum of \(\mu(g_i)\). This gives a class of doubly stochastic matrices for which the conjecture of \textit{D. Z. Djokovic} [On a conjective by van der Waerden. Mat. Vestnik 4(19), 272-276 (1967; Zbl 0153.35403)] is true.
