We investigate the uniqueness problem of stochastic matrix factorization, i.e. the uniqueness problem of represantation of fixed matrix in the form of a product of two stochastic matrices. We formulate and proof new sufficient condition for the uniqueness of a given decomposition in terms of elements of matrix factors.
