Abstract:
We give a method of factoring integer matrices in into components such that the factorization is not unique unless certain information is known. In Section 2, we introduce this method of factorization and provide theorems which establish its well-definedness. In Section 3, we construct a matrix in as a product of specific types of matrices and establish an algorithm for factoring the result uniquely given an amount of information.
