Abstract: We prove that the signed counting (with respect to the parity of the "inv" statistic) of partition matrices equals the cardinality of a subclass of inversion sequences. In the course of establishing this result, we introduce an interesting class of partition matrices called improper partition matrices. We further show that a subset of improper partition matrices is counted by the Motzkin numbers. Such an enumeration is established both analytically and bijectively, building upon a combinatorial mechanism involving weighted Motzkin paths. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
