Let $A$ be a unital $C^{*}$-algebra which has a faithful state. If $varphi:Arightarrow A$ is a unital linear map which is bijective and invertibility preserving or surjective and spectral radius preserving, then $varphi$ is a Jordan isomorphism. Also, we discuss other types of linear preserver maps on $A$.

We show a simple method for constructing larger dimension nonnegative matrices with somewhat arbitrary entries which can be irreducible or reducible but preserving the spectral radius via row sum expansions. This yields sufficient criteria two square of to have same radius, way compare radii matrices, and derive new upper lower bounds on give standard as special case.

in this paper some upper and lower bounds for the greatest eigenvalues of the pi and vertex pimatrices of a graph g are obtained. those graphs for which these bounds are best possible arecharacterized.
