For a rank- 1 matrix A = 𝐚 𝐛 t , we define the perimeter of A as the number of nonzero entries in both 𝐚 and 𝐛 . We characterize the linear operators which preserve the rank and perimeter of rank- 1 matrices over semifields. That is, a linear operator T preserves the rank and perimeter of rank- 1 matrices over semifields if and only if it has the form T ( A ) = U A V , or T ( A ) = U A t V with some invertible matrices U and V.
