In the context of mathematics, particularly in linear algebra, an exchange matrix (also known as a permutation matrix) is a square binary matrix that results from swapping two rows or two columns of the identity matrix. Each row and each column of an exchange matrix contains exactly one entry of 1 and the rest are 0s. The main purpose of an exchange matrix is to represent a permutation of a set of vectors or coordinates.
