Abstract

Characterizations are obtained of those linear operators over certain semirings that preserve (1) the rth coefficient of the rook polynomial, those that preserve (2) the term rank of matrices with term rank r, and those that preserve (3) the rth elementary symmetric permanental function. Our results apply to many algebraic systems of combinatorial interest, including the nonnegative integer matrices, Boolean matrices, and fuzzy matrices.
