Abstract

Let A be a Boolean { 0 , 1 } matrix. The isolation number of A is the maximum number of ones in A such that no two are in any row or any column (that is they are independent), and no two are in a 2 × 2 submatrix of all ones. The isolation number of A is a lower bound on the Boolean rank of A . A linear operator on the set of m × n Boolean matrices is a mapping which is additive and maps the zero matrix, O , to itself. A mapping strongly preserves a set, S , if it maps the set S into the set S and the complement of the set S into the complement of the set S . We investigate linear operators that preserve the isolation number of Boolean matrices. Specifically, we show that T is a Boolean linear operator that strongly preserves isolation number k for any 1 k min { m , n } if and only if there are fixed permutation matrices P and Q such that for X m , n ( 𝔹 ) T ( X ) = P X Q or, m = n and T ( X ) = P X t Q where X t is the transpose of X .
