1. Introduction. Let be a Boolean ring of at least two elements containing a unit 1. Form the set of matrices A, B, … of order n having entries aiJ, bij, … (i, j = 1, 2, …, n), which are members of . A matrix U of is called unimodular if there exists a matrix V of such that VU= I, the identity matrix. Two matrices A and B are said to be left-associates if there exists a unimodular matrix U satisfying UA = B.
