For $X,Y\in {𝐌}_{n,m}$ it is said that $X$ is gut-majorized by $Y$, and we write $X{\prec }_{\mathrm{gut}}Y$, if there exists an $n$-by-$n$ upper triangular g-row stochastic matrix $R$ such that $X=RY$. Define the relation ${\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ as follows. $X{\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}Y$ if $X$ is gut-majorized by $Y$ and $Y$ is gut-majorized by $X$. The (strong) linear preservers of ${\prec }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ on ${ℝ}^n$ and strong linear preservers of this relation on ${𝐌}_{n,m}$ have been characterized before. This paper characterizes all (strong) linear preservers and strong linear preservers of ${\sim }_{\mathrm{gut}}$ on ${ℝ}^n$ and ${𝐌}_{n,m}$.

For $X,Y\in {𝐌}_{n,m}$, it is said that $X$ is majorized by $Y$ (and it is denoted by $X{\prec }_{gt}Y$) if there exists a tridiagonal g-doubly stochastic matrix $A$ such that $X=AY$. In this paper, the linear preservers and strong linear preservers of ${\prec }_{gt}$ are characterized on ${𝐌}_{n,m}$.
