Abstract
The subdeterminants of the Laplacian matrix L(G) assigned to a graph G have a well-known combinatorial meaning. In the present paper principal subpermanents per LK (G) and coefficients pk (G) of the permanental characteristic polynomial of L(G) are expressed by means of some collections of subgraphs of G. This expansion is used to obtain lower bounds for perL(G),per LK (G) and pk (G).
