Let A = (aij) be a
real square matrix of order n with nonnegative entries, and let M(A) be
the class of all complex matrices B = (bij) of order n such that, for all i,j,
|bij| = aij. If every matrix in M(A) is nonsingular, we say M(A) is regular, and it
is the purpose of this note to investigate conditions under which M(A) is
regular.
