Abstract:
In this paper, it is proved that for $\lambda > 1$, an additive map that strongly preserves the set of $\lambda$-scrambling matrices over $\mathbf{B}$ is a bijection. The general form of such a map over any antinegative commutative semiring with identity and without zero divisors is characterized.
Key words and phrases:scrambling matrix, scrambling index, directed graphs, nonnegative matrices, antinegative semirings.
