contents This paper investigates the Smith normal form equivalence problem for multivariate polynomial matrices. Using methods from matrix theory and polynomial ideal theory, we prove that Frost and Storey's 1978 conjecture holds for a broad class of matrices: such a matrix is equivalent to its Smith normal form if and only if its reduced minors of each order generate the unit ideal. Moreover, by extending the original matrix class via automorphisms of the polynomial ring, we show that our framework applies in a substantially more general setting.
