Non-singular matrix
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
non-degenerate matrix
A square matrix with non-zero determinant. For a square matrix $ A $ over a field, non-singularity is equivalent to each of the following conditions: 1) $ A $ is invertible; 2) the rows (columns) of $ A $ are linearly independent; or 3) $ A $ can be brought by elementary row (column) transformations to the identity matrix.
