The paper deals with a new method of solving a combinatorial problem with account for the properties of the set of permutations and its structure. Using this method, the values of the linear objective function are sequenced and the set of permutations is decomposed over hyperplanes, with account of element recurrences. This makes it possible to develop an algorithm of finding the point (an element of the set of permutations) at which the objective function attains a given value.
