Preservers of term ranks and star cover numbers of symmetric matrices

چکیده
Let Sn(S) denote the set of symmetric matrices over some semiring, S. A line of A ∈ Sn(S) is a row or a column of A. A star of A is the submatrix of A consisting of a row and the corresponding column of A. The term rank of A is the minimum number of lines that contain all the nonzero entries of A. The star cover number is the minimum number of stars that contain all the nonzero entries of A. This paper investigates linear operators that preserve sets of symmetric matrices of specified term rank and sets of symmetric matrices of specific star cover numbers. Several equivalences to the condition that T preserves the term rank of any matrix are given along with characterizations of a couple of types of linear operators that preserve certain sets of matrices defined by the star cover number that do not preserve all term ranks.

Multiplicative Preservers of C-Numerical Ranges and Radii
Multiplicative preservers of C-numerical ranges and radii on certain groups and semigroups of complex n × n matrices are characterized. The general and special linear groups are considered, as well as the semigroups of matrices having ranks not exceeding k, with k fixed in advance. For a fixed C, it turns out that typically the multiplicative preservers of the C-numerical range (or radius) have...
متن کاملOn linear preservers of sgut-majorization on $textbf{M}_{n,m}$
Abstract. Let Mn;m be the set of n-by-m matrices with entries inthe field of real numbers. A matrix R in Mn = Mn;n is a generalizedrow substochastic matrix (g-row substochastic, for short) if Re e, where e = (1; 1; : : : ; 1)t. For X; Y 2 Mn;m, X is said to besgut-majorized by Y (denoted by X sgut Y ) if there exists ann-by-n upper triangular g-row substochastic matrix R such thatX = RY . This ...
متن کاملLinear spaces and preservers of bounded rank-two per-symmetric triangular matrices
Let F be a field and m,n be integers m,n > 3. Let SMn(F) and STn(F) denote the linear space of n × n per-symmetric matrices over F and the linear space of n × n per-symmetric triangular matrices over F, respectively. In this note, the structure of spaces of bounded rank-two matrices of STn(F) is determined. Using this structural result, a classification of bounded rank-two linear preservers ψ :...
متن کاملTRIANGULAR FUZZY MATRICES
In this paper, some elementary operations on triangular fuzzynumbers (TFNs) are defined. We also define some operations on triangularfuzzy matrices (TFMs) such as trace and triangular fuzzy determinant(TFD). Using elementary operations, some important properties of TFMs arepresented. The concept of adjoints on TFM is discussed and some of theirproperties are. Some special types of TFMs (e.g. pu...
متن کاملAdjacency preservers, symmetric matrices, and cores
It is shown that the graph Γn that has the set of all n× n symmetric matrices over a finite field as the vertex set, with two matrices being adjacent if and only if the rank of their difference equals one, is a core if n≥ 3. Eigenvalues of the graph Γn are calculated as well.
