Abstract :
An exchange ideal I of a ring R is locally comparable if for every
regular x ∈ I there exists a right or left invertible u ∈ 1+I such that x = xux.
We prove that every matrix extension of an exchange locally comparable ideal
is locally comparable. We thereby prove that every square regular matrix over
such ideal admits a diagonal reduction.
