Characterization of Matrices with only one Element in every Row and Column

323 Views Asked by At

Are the following kind of matrices categorized or studied in any way? For example:

0 0 a 0 0
0 0 0 b 0
0 0 0 0 c
d 0 0 0 0 
0 e 0 0 0 

If diagonal matrices only scale each eigenvector, these matrices transform one eigenvector to another and then scale them.

I know them as the normalizer of the diagonal invertible matrices, but Wikipedia has a lot more it seems.
