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.

For a Boolean rank 1 matrix $A=ab^t$, we define the perimeter of A as the number of nonzero entries in both a and b. The perimeter of an $m{\times}n$ Boolean matrix A is the minimum of the perimeters of the rank-1 decompositions of A. In this article we characterize the linear operators that preserve the perimeters of Boolean matrices.

Zero-term rank of a matrix is the minimum number of lines (rows or columns) needed to cover all the zero entries of the given matrix. We characterized the linear operators that preserve zero-term rank of the m×n matrices over binary Boolean algebra.

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.

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 $1{\leq}k{\leq}min\{m,n\}$.

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.

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.

We consider 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.

For an $n{\times}n$ Boolean matrix A, A is called nilpotent if $A^m=O$ for some positive integer m. We consider the set of $n{\times}n$ nilpotent Boolean matrices and we characterize linear operators that strongly preserve nilpotent matrices over Boolean algebras.
