Recall that a ring R (all rings considered are commutative with unit) is an elementary divisor ring (respectively, a Hermite ring) provided every matrix over R is equivalent to a diagonal matrix (respectively, a triangular matrix). Thus, every elementary divisor ring is Hermite, and it is easily seen that a Hermite ring is Bezout, that is, finitely generated ideals are principal. Examples have been given [4] to show that neither implication is reversible.
