Abstract

Let A be a (0, 1)-matrix such that PA is indecomposable for every permutation matrix P and there are 2n + 3 positive entries in A. Assume that A is also nonconvertible in a sense that no change of signs of matrix entries, satisfies the condition that the permanent of A equals to the determinant of the changed matrix. We characterized all matrices with the above properties in terms of bipartite graphs. Here 2n + 3 is known to be the smallest integer for which nonconvertible fully indecomposable matrices do exist. So, our result provides the complete characterization of extremal matrices in this class.
