Moreover, any 0-1 matrix that is [[totally unimodular]] is also balanced. The following matrix is a balanced matrix as it does not contain any submatrix that is incidence matrix of an odd order cycle:
:<math>B=\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 1 & 1 & 1\\
1 & 1 & 0 & 0\\
Line 36:
\end{bmatrix}</math>
Since this matrix is not totally unimodular (its determinant is -2), 0-1 totally unimodular matrices are a [[proper subset]] of balanced matrices. <ref name="Schrijver1998" />
 
 
 
For example, balanced matrices arise as the coefficient matrix in special cases of the [[set partitioning problem]]. <ref name="RyanFalkner">{{cite journal|last1 = Ryan | first1 = D.
