On linear maps preserving g-majorization from to .
Let be the general Boolean algebra and a linear operator on . If for any in (, respectively), is regular (invertible, respectively) if and only if is regular (invertible, respectively), then is said to strongly preserve regular (invertible, respectively) matrices. In this paper, we will give complete characterizations of the linear operators that strongly preserve regular (invertible, respectively) matrices over . Meanwhile, noting that a general Boolean algebra is isomorphic...
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20M20, 20M10.We describe maximal nilpotent subsemigroups of a given nilpotency class in the semigroup Ωn of all n × n real matrices with non-negative coefficients and the semigroup Dn of all doubly stochastic real matrices.
The partial ordering induced by the Loewner partial ordering on the convex cone comprising all matrices which multiplied by a given positive definite matrix become nonnegative definite is considered. Its relation to orderings which are induced by the Loewner partial ordering of the squares of matrices is presented. Some extensions of the latter orderings and their comparison to star orderings are given.
For p ≡ 1 (mod 4), we prove the formula (conjectured by R. Chapman) for the determinant of the (p+1)/2 × (p+1)/2 matrix with .
