An alternating sign matrix (ASM for short) is a square matrix which consists of 0, 1 and −1. In this paper, we characterize an ASM by showing a bijection between alternating sign matrix and six vertex model, and a bijection between six vertex model and height function.
In order to show these bijections, we define a triplet (ai,j , ci,j , ri,j) for each entry of an ASM. We also define a track for each index of height function, and state more properties of height function.
