Nonsingular Matrix
A square matrix that is not singular, i.e., one that has a matrix inverse. Nonsingular matrices are sometimes also called regular matrices. A square matrix is nonsingular iff its determinant is nonzero (Lipschutz 1991, p. 45). For example, there are 6 nonsingular 2×2 (0,1)-matrices:
The following table gives the numbers of nonsingular n×n matrices for certain matrix classes.
