Abstract

We first characterize submatrices of a unimodular integral matrix. We then prove that if n entries of an n × n partial integral matrix are prescribed and these n entries do not constitute a row or a column, then this matrix can be completed to a unimodular matrix. Consequently an n × n partial integral matrix with n − 1 prescribed entries can always be completed to a unimodular matrix.
