Abstract
Abstract In this paper we prove that, up to a scalar multiple, the determinant is the unique generalized matrix function that preserves the product or remains invariant under similarity. Also, we present a new proof for the known result that, up to a scalar multiple, the ordinary characteristic polynomial is the unique generalized characteristic polynomial for which the Cayley-Hamilton theorem remains true.
