Strong linear preservers of symmetric doubly stochastic or doubly substochastic matrices. (Q1426299)

The authors present some results about LOCC graphs, i.e. graphs with particular connected components, and by means of them improve some results due to \textit{C. K. Li, B. S. Tam}, and \textit{N. K. Tsing} [Linear Algebra Appl. 341, 5--22 (2002; Zbl 0998.15004)]. They prove that a linear map \(T\) preserves the symmetric doubly stochastic or doubly substochastic matrices if and only if \(T\) maps such a matrix \(X\) in \(P^t \dot X \dot P \) for some permutation matrix \(P\).
