Six types of matrix partial orders are considered: minus partial order, star partial order, singular value orders \(\sigma\) and \(\sigma_{1}\), left star and right star orders. A classification is provided for bijective linear transformations which are order preservers (i.e. monotone) with respect to each of these partial orders. By using a deformation technique it is shown that bijective monotone linear transformations preserve the set of \(m\times n\) complex matrices with rank less than \(\text{min}\{m,n\}\). This technique allows the obtainment of characterizations of bijective linear preservers for singular value orders \(\sigma\) and \(\sigma_{1}\) and to extend the author's previous results for the other four partial orders from square to rectangular matrices. For instance, the minus partial order \(\overline{<}\) has the following definition: \(A\overline{<}B\) if \(\text{rank}(B-A)=\text{rank}B-\text{rank}A\). The corresponding theorem states that a bijective linear transformation \(T:M_{mn}(F)\rightarrow M_{mn}(F)\) (where min\(\{m,n\}>1\) and \(F\) is an arbitrary field of cardinality \(| F| >\text{min}\{m,n\}\)) preserve the minus partial order if and only if there exist invertible matrices \(M\in M_{m}(\mathbb{C}),\;N\in M_{n}(\mathbb{C})\) such that \(T(X)=MXN\) or in the case \(m=n\) also \(T(X)=MX^{t}N\) for all \(X\in M_{mn}(\mathbb{C})\). Similar theorems are proved for each of the mentioned matrix partial orders. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1027.00013].
