Denote the set of n ${\times}$ n complex Hermitian matrices by Hn. A pair of n ${\times}$ n Hermitian matrices (A, B) is said to be rank-additive if rank (A+B) = rank A+rank B. We characterize the linear maps from Hn into itself that preserve the set of rank-additive pairs. As applications, the linear preservers of adjoint matrix on Hn and the Jordan homomorphisms of Hn are also given. The analogous problems on the skew Hermitian matrix space are considered.

The spanning column rank of an $m{\times}n$ matrix A over a semiring is the minimal number of columns that span all columns of A. We characterize linear operators that preserve the sets of matrix ordered pairs which satisfy multiplicative properties with respect to spanning column rank of matrices over semirings.

For a Boolean rank-l matrix $A\;=\;ab^{t}$, we define the perimeter of A as the number of nonzero entries in both a and b. We characterize the Boolean linear operators that preserve rank and perimeter of Boolean rank-l matrices.

In this note, compound-commuting additive maps on matrix spaces are studied. We show that compound-commuting additive maps send rank one matrices to matrices of rank less than or equal to one. By using the structural results of rank-one nonincreasing additive maps, we characterize compound-commuting additive maps on four types of matrices: triangular matrices, square matrices, symmetric matrices and Hermitian matrices.

We estimate the stable rank, connected stable rank and general stable rank of the multiplier algebras of $C^{＊}$-algebras under some conditions and prove that the ranks of them are infinite. Moreover, we show that for any $\sigma$-unital subhomogeneous $C^{＊}$-algebra, its stable rank is equal to that of its multiplier algebra.

In this article the fuzzy number rank and the fuzzy rank transformation method are introduced in order to analyse the non-parametric fuzzy regression model which cannot be described as a specific functional form such as the crisp data and fuzzy data as a independent and dependent variables respectively. The effectiveness of fuzzy rank transformation methods is compared with other methods through the numerical examples.

We show that if I is an ideal of a $C^*$-algebra A such that the unitary group of I is connected then cer(A) $\leq$ cer(I) + cer(A/I), where cer(A) denotes the $C^*$-exponential rank of A.

We estimate the real rank of CCR C*-algebras under some assumptions. A applications we determine the real rank of the reduced group C*-algebras of non-compac connected, semi-simple and reductive Lie groups and that of the group C*-algebras of connected nilpotent Lie groups.
