A [[nonsingular]] matrix ''A'' is a generalized permutation matrix if and only if it can be written as a product of a nonsingular [[diagonal matrix]] ''D'' and a [[permutation matrix]] ''P'':

An interesting theorem states the following: If a nonsingular matrix and its inverse are both nonnegative matrices (i.e. matrices with nonnegative entries), then the matrix is a generalized permutation matrix.
