Positiveness of the permanent of 4-dimensional polystochastic matrices of order 4

A nonnegative multidimensional matrix is called polystochastic if the sum of its entries over each line is equal to $1$. In this paper we overview known results on positiveness of the permanent of polystochastic matrices and prove that the permanent of every $4$-dimensional polystochastic matrix of order $4$ is greater than zero.
