Hi,

I am trying to build a procedure to check to see if an nxn matrix is elementary. I am working with the standard definition of an elementary matrix, a square matrix that is formed by performing exactly one row operation on the corresponding identity matrix. It could also be interpreted as a matrix that is exactly one row operation from becoming the identity matrix. Does anyone have any idea how this might be done?

Thanks!
