Abstract

An m × n matrix R with nonnegative entries is called row stochastic if the sum of entries on every row of R is 1. Let Mm,n be the set of all m × n real matrices. For A, B ∈ Mm,n, we say that A is row Hadamard majorized by B (denoted by A ≺ RHB) if there exists an m × n row stochastic matrix R such that A = R ο B, where X ο Y is the Hadamard product (entrywise product) of matrices X, Y ∈ Mm,n. In this paper, we consider the concept of row Hadamard majorization as a relation on Mm,n and characterize the structure of all linear operators T: Mm,n → Mm,n preserving (or strongly preserving) row Hadamard majorization. Also, we find a theoretic graph connection with linear preservers (or strong linear preservers) of row Hadamard majorization, and we give some equivalent conditions for these linear operators on Mn.
