A (0, 1) matrix A is said to be ideal if all the vertices of the polytope Q(A) = {x: Ax ≥ 1,0 ≤ x ≤ 1} are integral. In this paper we consider the extension of the notion of ideality to (0, ±1) matrices. We associate with any (0, ±1) matrix A its disjoint completion A+ and we show that A is ideal if and only if a suitable (0, 1) matrix D(A+) is ideal. Moreover, we prove a Lehman-type characterization of minimally non-ideal (0, ±1) matrices that coincide with their disjoint completion.
