Jump to: navigation, search

A square matrix over an associative ring with identity, in each row and column of which there is exactly one non-zero element. If the non-zero entries of a monomial matrix are equal to $1$, then the matrix is called a permutation matrix. Any monomial matrix is the product of a permutation matrix and a diagonal matrix.
