Perimeter preserver of matrices over semifields

Seok-Zun Song, Kyung-Tae Kang, Young Bae Jun (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

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.

Power indices of trace zero symmetric Boolean matrices

Bo Zhou (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

The power index of a square Boolean matrix A is the least integer d such that Ad is a linear combination of previous nonnegative powers of A. We determine the maximum power indices for the class of n×n primitive symmetric Boolean matrices of trace zero, the class of n×n irreducible nonprimitive symmetric Boolean matrices, and the class of n×n reducible symmetric Boolean matrices of trace zero, and characterize the extreme matrices respectively.
