A matrix whose entries consist of the symbols +.- and 0 is called a sign pattern matrix . In 1994 , Eschenbach gave a graph theoretic characterization of irreducible sign idempotent pattern matrices. In this paper, we give a characterization of reducible sign idempotent matrices. We show that reducible sign idempotent matrices, whose digraph is contained in an irreducible sign idempotent matrix, has all nonnegative entries up to equivalences. this extend the previous result.

Sign patterns of idempotent matrices, especially symmetric idempotent matrices, are investigated. A number of fundamental results are given and various constructions are presented. The sign patterns of symmetric idempotent matrices through order 5 are determined. Some open questions are also given.

The fuzzy idempotent matrices are important in various applications and have many interesting properties. Using the upper diagonal completion process, we have the zero patterns of fuzzy idempotent matrix, that is, Boolean idempotent matrices. And we give the construction of all fuzzy idempotent matrices for some dimention.

An idempotent e of a ring R is called right (resp., left) semicentral if er = ere (resp., re = ere) for any r ∈ R, and an idempotent e of R∖{0, 1} will be called right (resp., left) quasicentral provided that for any r ∈ R, there exists an idempotent f = f(e, r) ∈ R∖{0, 1} such that er = erf (resp., re = fre). We show the whole shapes of idempotents and right (left) semicentral idempotents of upper triangular matrix rings and polynomial rings. We next prove that every nontrivial idempotent of the n by n full matrix ring over a principal ideal domain is right and left quasicentral and, applying this result, we can find many right (left) quasicentral idempotents but not right (left) semicentral.

In general, a matrix A is idempotent if $A^2$ = A. The idempotent matrices play an important role in the matrix theory and some properties of the Boolean matrices are examined. Using the upper diagonal completion process, we give the characterization of the Boolean idempotent matrices in modified Frobenius normal form.

In the fuzzy theory, a matrix A is idempotent if $A^2=A$. The idempotent fuzzy matrices are important in various applications and have many interesting properties. Using the upper diagonal completion process, we have the zero patterns of idempotent fuzzy matrix, that is, the idempotent Boolean matrices. In addition, we give the construction of all idempotent fuzzy matrices for each dimension n.

In this paper, we examine idempotent intuitionistic fuzzy matrices and idempotent intuitionistic fuzzy matrices of T-type. We develop some properties on both idempotent intuitionistic fuzzy matrices and idempotent intuitionistic fuzzy matrices of T-type. Several theorems are provided and an numerical example is given to illustrate the theorems.

A matrix whose entries consist of the symbols +, - and 0 is called a sign pattern matrix. In [1], a graph theoretic characterization of sign idempotent pattern matrices was given. A question was given for the sign patterns which allow idempotence. We characterized the sign patterns which allow idempotence in the sign idempotent pattern matrices.

We consider the set of $n{\times}n$ idempotent matrices and we characterize the linear operators that preserve idempotent matrices over Boolean algebras. We also obtain characterizations of linear operators that preserve idempotent matrices over a chain semiring, the nonnegative integers and the nonnegative reals.

In this paper, we have characterizations of idempotent matrices over general Boolean algebras and chain semirings. As a consequence, we obtain that a fuzzy matrix $A=[a_{i,j}]$ is idempotent if and only if all $a_{i,j}$-patterns of A are idempotent matrices over the binary Boolean algebra $\mathbb{B}_1={0,1}$. Furthermore, it turns out that a binary Boolean matrix is idempotent if and only if it can be represented as a sum of line parts and rectangle parts of the matrix.
