Issue

This definition excludes the row-switching elementary matrix[1]:


16c94d719d94fe7b7a397a59d781be2b.png

Proof

The matrix above (marked T) has more than one off-diagonal element added to it.

In addition, at least one diagonal element has been modified.

Therefore, by the definition on the Elementary matrix page, T is not an elementary matrix.


Alternate definition

In mathematics, an elementary matrix is a matrix which differs from the identity matrix by one single elementary row operation.[2]
