The Boolean rank of a nonzero $m{\times}n$ Boolean matrix A is the least integer k such that there are an $m{\times}k$ Boolean matrix B and a $k{\times}n$ Boolean matrix C with A = BC. We investigate the structure of linear transformations T : $\mathbb{M}_{m,n}{\rightarrow}\mathbb{M}_{p,q}$ which preserve Boolean rank. We also show that if a linear transformation preserves the set of Boolean rank 1 matrices and the set of Boolean rank k matrices for any k, $2{\leq}k{\leq}$ min{m, n} (or if T strongly preserves the set of Boolean rank 1 matrices), then T preserves all Boolean ranks.

A Boolean rank one matrix can be factored as $\text{uv}^t$ for vectors u and v of appropriate orders. The perimeter of this Boolean rank one matrix is the number of nonzero entries in u plus the number of nonzero entries in v. A Boolean matrix of Boolean rank k is the sum of k Boolean rank one matrices, a rank one decomposition. The perimeter of a Boolean matrix A of Boolean rank k is the minimum over all Boolean rank one decompositions of A of the sums of perimeters of the Boolean rank one matrices. The arctic rank of a Boolean matrix is one half the perimeter. In this article we characterize the linear operators that preserve the symmetric arctic rank of symmetric Boolean matrices.

The Boolean rank of a nonzero m $m{\times}n$ Boolean matrix A is the least integer k such that there are an $m{\times}k$ Boolean matrix B and a $k{\times}n$ Boolean matrix C with A = BC. In 1984, Beasley and Pullman showed that a linear operator preserves the Boolean rank of any Boolean matrix if and only if it preserves Boolean ranks 1 and 2. In this paper, we extend this characterization of linear operators that preserve the Boolean ranks of Boolean matrices. We show that a linear operator preserves all Boolean ranks if and only if it preserves two consecutive Boolean ranks if and only if it strongly preserves a Boolean rank k with $1{\leq}k{\leq}min\{m,n\}$.

The $m{\times}n$ Boolean matrix A is said to be of Boolean rank r if there exist $m{\times}r$ Boolean matrix B and $r{\times}n$ Boolean matrix C such that A = BC and r is the smallest positive integer that such a factorization exists. We consider the the sets of matrix ordered pairs which satisfy extremal properties with respect to Boolean rank inequalities of matrices over nonbinary Boolean algebra. We characterize linear operators that preserve these sets of matrix ordered pairs as the form of $T(X)=PXP^T$ with some permutation matrix P.

An m${\times}$n Boolean matrix A is called regular if there exists an n${\times}$m Boolean matrix X such that AXA = A. We have characterizations of Boolean regular matrices. We also determine the linear operators that strongly preserve Boolean regular matrices.

본 논문에서는 나눗셈 행렬을 이용하여 부울 대입식을 산출하는 논리합성 방법을 제안한다. 최적화하고자하는 2개의 논리식들로부터 대수 나눗셈에 의한 행렬을 만들고 부울 공리와 리터럴 추가를 통해 부울 나눗셈 행렬로 확장을 한다. 부울 나눗셈 행렬에 리터럴을 추가하여 확장된 부울 나눗셈 행렬을 만들고, 원소들을 커버링하여 부울대입식을 산출한다. 실험결과 여러 벤치마크 회로에 대하여 제안한 방법이 기존 합성도구보다 리터럴 개수를 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.

We construct the sets of Boolean matrix pairs, which are naturally occurred at the extreme cases for the Boolean rank inequalities relative to the sums and difference of two Boolean matrices or compared between their Boolean ranks and their real ranks. For these sets, we consider the linear operators that preserve them. We characterize those linear operators as T(X) = PXQ or $T(X)\;=\;PX^tQ$ with appropriate invertible Boolean matrices P and Q.

We study the permanent set of the prime Boolean matrices in the semigroup of Boolean matrices. We define a class $M_n$ of prime matrices, and find all the possible permanents of the elements in $M_n$.

For any $m{\times}n$ nonbinary Boolean matrix A, its spanning column rank is the minimum number of the columns of A that spans its column space. We have a characterization of spanning column rank-1 nonbinary Boolean matrices. We investigate the linear operators that preserve the spanning column ranks of matrices over the nonbinary Boolean algebra. That is, for a linear operator T on $m{\times}n$ nonbinary Boolean matrices, it preserves all spanning column ranks if and only if there exist an invertible nonbinary Boolean matrix P of order m and a permutation matrix Q of order n such that T(A) = PAQ for all $m{\times}n$ nonbinary Boolean matrix A. We also obtain other characterizations of the (spanning) column rank preserver.
