The scrambling index of an $n\times n$ primitive Boolean matrix $A$ is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that $A^k{\left(A^{\mathrm{T}}\right)}^k=J$, where $A^{\mathrm{T}}$ denotes the transpose of $A$ and $J$ denotes the $n\times n$ all ones matrix. For an $m\times n$ Boolean matrix $M$, its Boolean rank $b\left(M\right)$ is the smallest positive integer $b$ such that $M=AB$ for some $m\times b$ Boolean matrix $A$ and $b\times n$ Boolean matrix $B$. In 2009, M. Akelbek, S. Fital, and J. Shen gave an upper bound on the scrambling index of an $n\times n$ primitive matrix $M$ in terms of its Boolean rank $b\left(M\right)$, and they also characterized all primitive...
