Small Matrices with Small Inverses: Unimodular Zerofree CasesSteven Finch
We consider unimodular matrices $M$ such that neither $M$ nor $M^{-1}$ contain zero entries. Matrices typically exhibit a trade-off: small $M$ imply large $M^{-1}$. We investigate rare cases where both remain small, classify these matrices up to symmetry, and discuss aspects of this balanced setting.
