On the parallel factorization of matrices over principal ideal rings

We describe all the factorizations A=BC (up to associates) of a matrix A over a commutative principal ideal domain parallel to the factorization D^A= of its canonical diagonal form D^A ( and are diagonal matrices), that is, the factorizations such that the matrices B and C are equivalent to the matrices and respectively.Translated fromMatematichni Metodi ta Fiziko-Mekhanichni Polya, Vol. 40, No. 4, 1997, pp. 96–100.
