Linear maps which preserve or strongly preserve weak majorization (Q2471985)

The authors prove that a linear mapping \(A\) on \({\mathbb R}^n\) preserves (strongly preserves, resp.) one of the weak majorizations \(\prec_w\) or \(\prec^w\) if and only if \(A\) is nonnegative and preserves the majorization \(\prec\) (has the form \(x \mapsto rPx\) for some positive real number \(r\) and some \(n \times n\) permutation matrix \(P\), resp.).
