Abstract
The independence number of a square matrix A, denoted by α(A), is the maximum order of its principal zero submatrices. Given any integer n, let Sn+ be the set of n×n nonnegative symmetric matrices with zero diagonal. We characterize the linear maps on Sn+ preserving the independence number of all matrices in Sn+.
