Exchange matrix

In mathematics, especially linear algebra, the exchange matrix (also called the reversal matrix, backward identity, or standard involutory permutation) is a special case of a permutation matrix, where the 1 elements reside on the counterdiagonal and all other elements are zero. In other words, it is a 'row-reversed' or 'column-reversed' version of the identity matrix.
