Norm preserver maps of Jordan product on the algebra Mn of n×n complex matrices are studied, with respect to various norms. A description of such surjective maps with respect to the Frobenius norm is obtained: Up to a suitable scaling and unitary similarity, they are given by one of the four standard maps (identity, transposition, complex conjugation, and conjugate transposition) on Mn, except ...

Wemake improvements to the current upper bounds on pairwise distance preservers and additive spanners. A distance preserver is a sparse subgraph that exactly preserves all distances in a given pair set P . We show that every undirected unweighted graph has a distance preserver on O(max{n|P |, n|P |}) edges, and we conjecture that O(n|P |+ n) is possible. An additive subset spanner is a sparse s...

Linear preserver problems is an active research area in matrix and operator theory. These problems involve certain linear operators on spaces of matrices or operators. We give a general introduction to the subject in this article. In the first three sections, we discuss motivation, results, and problems. In the last three sections, we describe some techniques, outline a few proofs, and discuss ...
